Pros

If you are interested in working in the education industry, Kaplan has a diverse portfolio of different businesses. As a result, there is substantial opportunity for exposure to multiple for-profit education business models

Cons

Kaplan's status as a for profit education company leads it to seek out revenue at the expense of students' learning. Employees are of a generally low intellect and caliber and are not happy to be employed at Kaplan. Those on the "pure" education side are generally unhappy to be working at a for profit, while those on the business side generally wish they were working in a higher caliber organization.
