Vantaggi
At Kaplan you'll work with many intelligent people who are passionate about what they do. There are lots of opportunities for ambitious people to learn and be commended for good work, and it's a great place for people who are interested in breaking into the education industry. Health, dental, and vacation benefits are very good. Three weeks of vacation are offered to most entry-level employees. Yearly reviews are given a lot of attention and good work will be appropriately noted. Casual dress policy is observed to a pretty high level, so more junior employees don't have to feel uncomfortable for wearing jeans.
Svantaggi
Although you'll be praised for you work, you won't be compensated for it. Although you can learn a lot from your co-workers, Kaplan isn't enthusiastic to fund out-of-office education relevant to your career, and things you learn don't necessarily translate into opportunities for advancement and career growth. Promotions are slow-coming (generally only awarded after many years) and the pay is very low. Expectations are generally very high and many employees at all levels are expected to work long hours with no comp time, overtime, or compensation of any sort, although they will generally be thanked verbally and with company celebrations.
