Pros

The training processes for a new salesperson bka admissions advisor is second to none. Teamwork is an understatement, there are coworkers here who will bend ovver backwards and then some to help you out. The pay and benefits are decent considering the routine nature of the work.

Cons

People say "I hate to be micromanaged" but they have no idea what DeVry has in store, if it weren't borderline stalkerish I'd be amazed at the technology. Mattersight records voice patterns and word combinations to ensure compliance, salesforce.com and collabrio monitor/record every dial that you make. Managers are walking throught the aisles to ensure you stay on task and emails-instant messages-internet activity can be monitored in real time. Additionally there is one mgr for every 10-12 reps so there are literally 12 people aiming for management and one opening annually persay so there can be carrot dangling for promotions which encourages a bit of backstabbing from time to time in an effort to limelight outside of normal recognition.

Pros

It gives you chance to enroll in their many programs.

Cons

I worked in facilities, their was never going to be any advancement in that dept. only if you signed up to take a class. The bad thing about that is, your fee of $64.000 is covered, but the minute you are no longer an employee, you have a $64.000 dollar loan debt you have to pay back for the rest of your life! You're stuck with paying that amount back, because a student loan can't go to bankruptcy, you have to pay it back!

Pros

Great benefits, decent salary, no workload stress. They also have a great wellness program in place and flex time is easy to get into.

Cons

Poor management, rash decisions (changes implemented without thorough consideration of the overall impact it would have. Little opportunity to move within - or even to other locations (Carrington, etc). Layoffs were not handled well and students were penalized as a result.
