Pros

The salaries are on par with the industry average. The local managers are carrying and considerate. The corporate executives are rapacious and out of touch with the education that occurs in the classroom.

Cons

Although the salaries are good, DeVry makes professors work for that money, requiring a teaching load of 45 credit hours per year. Way too much control is exerted on classroom instruction from the center; home office doesn't permit professors to make local and tailored decisions about instructional content.
