Run strictly as a corporation and not a school.

Pros

Helping students achieve their educational goals is really rewarding, the salary is great compared to other institutions.

Cons

Long hours as we are open until 8pm and open on Saturdays; management does not offer clear guidance on how to obtain organizational goals; declining enrollment has lead to extensive layoffs, however they turn around and hire someone else at a lesser salary for the same position; management undermines staff often; not many career opportunities.

Pros

Very flexable schedule. They are also very good about trying to accomadate time off. The benefits are also pretty good in comparison with some university.

Cons

With students starting to turn from private schools, DeVry reacts with lashing out at employees. Suddenly it is more more more, instead of actually assisting students. The mass numbers of people leaving has left online short staffed, and under prepared. This causes studnets to become frustrated rightfully so. This place is a study in horrible management. Directors run around trying to figure out how to blame the other department for the lack of new students instead of addressing the real problem. All the while the actual employees are over worked and not apperciated. There is only so many times a person can be scoled for not following a robic script.

Pros

I am truly impressed with the values and level of quality service provided at the KC, MO campus. Awesome!

Cons

I didn't experience any negatives. I only worked on a part-time basis, so I was not entitled to benefits.
