Kaplan Early Learning Reviews

The company does not honor promised made by HR when people are hired. Most positions pay below national and local averages. The company does not offer merit raises so most employees are not motivated to work hard or improve performance. There is very little opportunity for advancement. If you are offered another position management tries to call everything a lateral move so they don't have to give a raise. The offices and bathrooms are filthy. Air quality is poor. The heating and air systems do not properly manage air temperature. Morale is very bad. Most employees are not content.

During the initial lockdown in 2020, our pay was cut by 25%. Hourly workers worked four days a week, while salaried workers still had to show up five days a week but for 25% less. During this time, Kaplan was beginning to make incredible amounts of money as they sold crucial PPE supplies that others couldn't get to schools, daycares, regular consumers, etc. Despite making a windfall profit (and upholding its salary cuts for over a month while continuing to profit), Kaplan was granted a PPP Loan of $3,027, 315 (public information available on ProPublica) and ended up getting approximately $34k more back than they borrowed when their loan was forgiven in 2021. Employees were paid a measly amount equivalent to one full paycheck to make up for the "lost" pay during the pay cuts and furloughs. This is just a small glimpse into how Kaplan's once admirable family values as a company doesn't extend to the employees they love to call family.
