What do you like best about the leadership team?The team is passionate about the services we sell
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?The other teachers are great.
What are some of the best things about your team?The teachers are great. Some of the faculty managers have been great. Maby are awful. There is constant musical chairs among management, though, so you may only have a faculty manager for a few months before he moves on.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?Being in touch with the people who work at the bottom. They might as well be on another planet.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?Since I am one of the most unimportant people at the company (i.e. teacher. How ironic, since it is an "education" company), I don't have benefits or stocks.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?Kaplan always finds ways to make something that could be simple complicated. Also, they want excellence from the workers but don't lead by example. The management treats clients poorly, and we at the bottom have to somehow make clients happy with the mess.
