Pros

Great benefits Good place to start and learn the business Solid reputation Compensation is fair

Cons

Human resources is simply awful Tuition is too high for the two year programs Management too young with weak managerial skills Must be with the in crowd to get promoted Senior management too high pressure and negative CEO is greedy and impatient Leads are terrible some as old as two or three years The job is very hard to do when poor behavior is not addressed, lack of professionism and poor resources to do your job. Morale is extremely low and most of the Directors are out for themselves. There is pressure to work weekends and overtime even though they don't pay time and a half. No work life balance and DeVry is joked as being a relationship killer. Most people pack on serious pounds due to stress related to the job. They closed the office due to poor numbers. Poor senior management and lack of HR support was a huge factor in the failure.

Pros

Great starting salary. Co-workers are great. Free education if you ask. Great health benefits and 401k Matching. It will grow to new levels.

Cons

Management likes hiring friends and overlooking qualified internal employees. If you hang out with the V.P., but unqualified to perform the position, you will get promoted. Main reason why I am leaving.
