not so great...

Pros

Came from a more organized department with great managers. Managers we're very understanding and very professional.

Cons

Transferred to another location, wow...what an experience. No leadership skills at all what so ever in management at this center. Politics, politics and politics. Managers like to be personal when requesting time off from work. Hours here are very rough...no flexibility at all. Unfortunately, senior management only care about themselves and not their employees. How do you expect us to be successful if you don't treat us like an "employee". Not a great environment.

Pros

Working in academic advising was a very stable department. As long as you come to work and do your job you are in pretty good shape. Good benefits as well.

Cons

Too many changes in structures and procedures on a short notice. Also the scheduling changed quite often which was not good for employees that work there.

Pros

For a For- profit, proprietary company they do compensate their employees well, Merit increases are above average, there is an outstanding benefits package that includes PTO, 401-k with a match, Profit sharing, tuition reimbursement (for yourself, spouse and children), and they really do value the students (at some locations....) With the new FlexWork they are trying to establish some sort of work/life balance for the employees.There is no micromanaging, you pretty much are free to direct and be responsible for your own activities and duties on the job as long as you meet your deadlines and are available to help others you are fine.

Cons

Consider before working at DeVry the work/life balance. Essentially there is none. If you have a family this job will simply not work out for you. There are days where you may arrive at 9 and leave at 8 at night. The onboarding process here is simply awful, there is a short run through of benefits and after that you are simply left to fend for yourself. There is NO FORMAL TRAINING PROCESS, so expect not to know what the heck you are supposed to do in your position for the first three months.I literally receive no help or direction in my position. They are absolutely awful at hiring within and tends to hire friends, or those they favor on the Outside and overlook the hardworking employees on the inside. However, if you are fortunate enough to become friends with mangement you shouldn't have this problem. Interviewing was a endless banter session of the same questions being asked a hundred times over. There is such a lack of direction here it's not funny, there is so much tension because management refuses to hold the right meetings to teach employees how to conduct themselves in the workplace, POLITICS, POLITICS all day. Corporate America at it's finest.
