DeVry University reviews

You better be your managers girlfriend , otherwise no promotion or you can get fired.

No life and work balance. Even though they preach this, the reality is that you will need to work most Saturdays due to several events taking place. Nothing wrong with working Saturdays, I just wish they had told me when I accepted this position. Managers do not give credit where credit is due. They don't like to give admissions advisors positive reenforcement for some reason. I was told that "once they're told they do a good job, they stop working". The reality is the admissions advisors felt like they got no respect from managers, thus there is a 70% turnover rate. Senior managers are very quick to "write somebody up" because their numbers may be to low. Even though this goes directly against Title IV federal laws for school recruiters (they cant be written up for not recruiting "high numbers"), a new advisor will be written up within a few months if they cant hack it. No training.....they just throw you out there. The higher converting leads (potential students who walk in or fill out an application online) go to the managers (who are also responsible for bringing in students) and the higher performers. When you interview a student, you are putting on high pressure tactics for them apply. If the potential wants to study nursing (not offered at Devry University), you are responsible to convinced that student why nursing is not the program they really want to do and put them in a program that Devry offers. If that student doesn't apply, you will hear it from your manager about "not helping out that student." Turnovers and stress are both normal in the admissions department at Devry in Los Angeles. If this is for you, then you should apply. They have plenty of openings (I wonder why).
