Great people - have met awesome, awesome ones over the years. Too bad many are lost in cost-cutting.
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
It's a good place to work. Just needs better sales leadership. Sam Slater is a joke and Brandon just wants to cut costs by firing people and reducing the quality of tutoring. But the people on the front line are AWESOME! You will make good friends there.
What makes you most happy at work?
The satisfaction of helping others.
What did you like most about the interview process?
They know what they want and only hire the best.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Great commission plan - it pays very well with lots of kickers
What are some of the best things about your team?
Awesome group of people. Dedicated and energetic and good at what they do!
What are some of the best things about your team?
Super personable and help each other out. The call Center staff are wonderful.
What makes you most happy at work?
Making money! It's easy to make sales and rewards you pretty well. Very fair commissions.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The insurance is WAY overpriced and there is no vision plan. But, you do get benefits after 30 days, so that's nice.
What did you like most about the interview process?
You meet the top people BUT DO NOT waste time interviewing too many times or with people you won't see when hired. It's quick enough but also a reasonable challenge. Kaplan does NOT hire just anyone.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They are dedicated - I think they DO believe in helping others. But, as executives, they don't always look at costs, not students. They have to put investors ahead of actual success for students and have instituted some bad policies.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Brandon Jones - just there to cut jobs and save money. UNFORTUNATELY, he does it well. John Polstein - great guy. Very smart and great personality. A born leader who actually knows what he's doing and communicates it very well. I believe in him. Sam Slater - a jokester who doesn't do squat.
