after the government restricted for profit colleges it has become a difficult place to work

This is a great job if you enjoy working with others and enjoy an indoor environment. The sales team is la creme de la creme and the Director of Sales is a very loyal manager.

It can be stressful because teaching is not the only job that instructors do. We have lots of additional jobs and are required to put in extra hours to make sure that the additional duties are done. I love being able to help people reach their educational goals.

Excellent company to work for that advances the sucess of students in the workforce.

A typical day for me at Kaplan was always exciting and fulfilling. I worked in the IT Department where there was always a technical emergency taking place so to speak. No two days were the same for me. Some days I would be overseeing the move team ensuring that equipment was going to the correct user another day I would be tracking inventory. I also – more...  worked on PC's and laptops replacing monitors, re imaging or setting up users accounts. It was a very fun and challenging work environment, I have learned a lot while working at Kaplan. I also took advantage of their GOK program for employees. I obtained my Bachelors in Psychology and Child Development at there as well. My manager and Director relied on me in many situations to take the lead and I never disappointed them. It was a pleasure working with them as well as working with the techs. The environment was laid back to a certain degree but exhilarating at times which kept me on my toes. – less

I was laid off from Kaplan and at the time I didnt realize how great working for this company was. I fully endorse Kaplan University.

I enjoyed every minute of my time working at Kaplan Higher Educaiton. Unfortunately, the economy and new federal regulations took its toll on the for-profit education sector and many of us were laid off. If not for that, I'd still be working and changing lives at Kaplan Corporate.

I have learned that working for an education institute was not easy as expected. Working with a wide range of students, from different parts of the United states, assisting them with enrolling into school.
This job taught me patience, and a way to understand many different situations on what these students go through just to get back o track with going – more...  back to school. The team work with Kaplan was outstanding, a very friendly and warm place to be comfortable and not be shy when it comes to any questions you may have in regards to work. – less

Typically I will run weekly to Monthly reports, help student / colleagues with computer assistance. I normally will run audits for Instructor / student files for compliance purposes. I've learned a lot, while being employed there, the co-workers are the most influential for the students. The management there has headed on a downward spiral. The most – more...  difficult part was, adapting to new management and having my position eliminated. But, on the other hand I enjoyed assembling a softball game for the students with the help of my family & the assistance of my colleagues. – less

I enjoyed working there, I gained a lot of experience there, my boss was very flexible with my working hours.

Horrible place to work! If you enjoy having your Boss yell, scream, cuss and micromanage you, this is the place to be. This assessment is across all campus locations and departments. On a good note: Very good benefits, you just have to decide if the punishment is worth them or not. Don't say you weren't warned.

Great job. Great staff. Great benefits. Great job. Great staff. Great benefits. Great job. Great staff. Great benefits.

A typical day was booking learners onto Inductions with our assessors around the country.

I improved on my administration experience.

The only good thing about this place was my co workers. The unrealistic expectations, management style and overall atomsphere were a nightmare. The pay is also on the low end. I would never tell someone I like to work here. Avoid at all costs.

I dislike micromanaging and that is how the business was operated. Felt like a prison warden was right there whipping us if we did not be quiet or did not get processes done in a certain time. I would not work for the business again.

Working for Kaplan is when I decided that teaching, being around the kids and being in the classroom is what I wanted to do. It was a very positive experience.

This job makes you always feel young because you are on college campuses all the time. We have also gone to a virtual office, so if you are not on campus, you are working from home. The company is very lenient on work hours. The hardest part of the job is just not interacting with other employees on a regular basis (you take that five minute water cooler – more...  break for granted)! – less
