      I have been working at Kaplan full-time for more than 8 years

      Pros

      401k matching up to 2%, Pension, newly not-for-prfit representation of Purdue University Global, great people to work with

      Cons

      Inflexible with schedules unless you've earned the right with arbitrary scores. Limited job growth, very little opportunity for pay increases, no development of existing leaders to make them better.

      Advice to Management

      Treat your front-line leaders like people too, smaller leader-to-team ratio will give better results, create a plan for career advancement, put effort into really building a winning culture not just putting it on the wall, putting people-first will lead to happier students, not the other way around.

      Neutral Outlook
      Approves of CEO

      I have been working at Kaplan full-time for more than 3 years

      Pros

      Work with great people. Transparent leadership. In most roles, you also get to work from home. Good community vibe.

      Cons

      Pay is low compared to market value. Health insurance is very costly and recently, the primary healthcare provider in my area was deemed "out of network". Very little upward mobility.

      Advice to Management

      Find ways to increase pay. Making the company a "great place to work" can only mask the low pay for so long.

      • Compensation and Benefits

      Current Employee - Pre-college Test Prep Teacher/Tutor 

      I have been working at Kaplan part-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Great people to work with! Everything is online, and it is set up well. If you like teaching and test prep material, you will really like it.

      Cons

      Depending on how far you are willing to travel, teaching assignments can be scarce. May not be an issue depending on what you are looking for. You can become involved with other projects and work at home sometimes.
