Pros
If you are not one of the salespeople pushed to meet a quota for new students signed up, Kaplan iexcels in every other way, the teachers are compentent, well-credentialed, some are less than enthusiastic sometimes, but they are about 80% of the time great to learn from. Fellow students are pretty respectful and there is often a lot of camraderie that develops. EVEN PART TIME EMPLOYEES LIKE ME ARE OFFERED HEALTH CARE THROUGH AETNA, ALThOUGH IT CAN BE A BIT EXPENSIVE, IT IS NICE TO AT LEAST HAVE THE OPTION AS A PART-TIMER FOR COVERAGE, BOTH FOR MYSELF AND FOR MY SPOUSE!
Cons
I have been a Peer student Advisor for a year and they have not given me a raise even though I have high marks for performance. There is a lot of mid-and low-level turnover in employees, they often do not make clear when you can expect cost-of-living or merit-based pay increases.
