Kaplan University Reviews

Pros

Opportunities for advancement will come up.

Cons

Pros

Flexibility Tuition benefit Student centered

Cons

Constant state of organizational change Lack of honest communication Lack of effective on boarding and training policies and procedures

Pros

So many activities and events for staff, including fun holiday parties, events in the parking lot, Volunteer Time Off with organized volunteering events each year, etc. Some managers there tried to make sure we had interesting work and felt empowered.

Cons

The worst thing about Kaplan was they turned a blind eye to some leaders' toxic behavior, such as bullying, controlling, threatening, etc.

Pros

Most of the students were amazing! Eager to learn and they were so helpful to eachothers needs as well. I really really loved my students.

Cons

Some of the students were completely catered. They were on student visas and would come check in and leave the classroom for the rest of the day and never come back. Kaplan was more worried about negative reviews than reiterating to students that they were on student visas... AND they would expect very thorough reviews on students every 6 weeks- some on students who may have only been in my classroom for a couple days— and would not went to compensate for time spent on these reviews, I.e. would be called into management office explaining any logged time for reviews or lesson planning. Keep in mind—- Kaplan rarely employs full time teachers!!! You’re part time even if you’re basically working full time!
