DeVry University reviews

Admissions is basically a sales position without commission. You have to make 100 calls a day and try to persuade people to apply and join the school. Your calls are observed and everything is metrics based. It is very clear that the school only cares about making money from students instead of actually caring for them. Working with a student feels like a sales transaction. This is NOT a traditional advising role. Also, you work closely with other departments but no one is on the same page and different people are held to different standards. I would only recommend this type of job to someone who is okay with a sales-centered role and with pressure to produce. Research for-profit schools and understand how they run before joining.

Some managers do not also teach so they are missing out on first hand experience with the current student and political environments. My manager DOES teach at least one class so she is able to completely understand what it is like to be a faculty member especially in these changing times where the role of AI in higher education is just being established.
