Considering taking a prep course as I think I may be able to get my company to pay for it. Just not sure which is the best for me.

I took Manhattan GMAT online and it was great. Instructors are great and you get a TON of materials. These classes are all what you make of it--for me it was a bit challenging b/c I'm not a "quant" person so the math guides were helpful and you have a lot to work with--orange OG, purple verbal book, green quant book and the 7 study guides plus MGMAT has 6 CATs, several question banks.

As for Kaplan and Princeton review, I've heard mixed reviews. Most people I know said Kaplan was not worth the $. I sat through a free session for both and I wasn't very impressed. Definitely do your research and see which has the best bang for your buck!
