DeVry University reviews

I’ve never been associated with a company with such HORRIBLE upper-level management (president, directors, deans). The president has no trust in the employees and always chooses to hire outside of company for higher level positions. Also, makes sure that everyone’s annual review is coded as “still developing” so no promotions could be asked for or raises given. There are employees who have been here for years and their annual review shows as “still developing”…Really? The Directors idea of management is applying scare tactics. They want to break you down and make you feel like you’re not good enough. They do this so they could have some type of “control” over you. Nothing positive about your performance comes out of a directors mouth, not even if you’re short of amazing. There is no job security and are consistent annual layoffs in July. Typically, the ones getting laid off are the ones with a higher salary, so even if you got a promotion, you would eventually be let go. In addition, The company closed down over 40+ locations in the past few month and is not looking good. Past 2 months at my location: Just to give you an idea of what’s been going on. We went from 4 directors of admissions to 1, 3 admissions reps were let go, 1 dean has resigned, 3 success coaches resigned all in 1 week, 1 student finance consultant resigned, and the student central manager has resigned also. ***PAST 2 MONTHS! Stay FAR away from this company because other companies do not even respect someone with Devry on their resume (even with attending a top university).

The value of what kind of student we let apply is poor. If they qualify for financial aid they get accepted. Too focused on metrics that count towards the purse strings instead of the whole picture. Layoffs are talked about like its a good thing among management. Will cut back till it hurts and then cut some more. Resources are scarce to do job. Will push the employees who work hard to their limits to compensate for the ones who don't.
