Pros

The compensation and benefits package is stellar. When the system works and you actually help someone and see them start class or graduate it's amazing!

Cons

Long hours, ridiculous sales goals, constant calling to no avail. There is an overwhelming feeling of dread each time you miss the mark on sales you really cannot guarantee.

Pros

Nice coworkers. Good benefits. They are expensive but decent. You can choose your healthcare options. They have employee get togethers twice a year, such as at the zoo or dave and busters.

Cons

This is a corporation, don't let the word "university" fool you. You will be managed by sales managers, in every department of this organization. It's not about the student, or lower level employees, it's about the company and the money they make. Low level employees are not treated well. Rude managers will fire you for the slightest infraction, which could be, not following the script when talking to students. It's that bad. Non existent raises and managers covering their own job run rampant here. I even found a power point from a manager making fun of the people who put together an awards ceremony. You will never move up. Ever.

Pros

Free classes if you take them at Devry

Cons

Terrible management, low pay, no opportunities to grow professionally. If you get laid off they offer you a bad package and if you accept it you becomed banned from working at Devry again. Many people have been laid off in the last few years.
