Pros

Competitive wages, they pay higher since its a for-profit private university

Cons

They are constantly "restructuring" which means massive lay offs about 2 to 3 times a year. Especially if you are in a management position, they dissolve positions constantly. There is absolutely no job security and depending which location you're at, no professional growth. There's always a clique and if you're not a part of the group, all opportunities will be denied. There is no work-life balance either, they're open saturdays and if they could sundays as well. During the weekday till 8pm, you don't have time for your family. They work you like a mule and never appreciate what you do, its never good enough and you could have done more.

Pros

DeVry Day was a wonderful example of our positive culture, meaningful work, and commitment to making a difference. Welcoming and congratulating graduates allowed me to celebrate their achievements firsthand and witness the impact of the support and resources DeVry provides throughout their educational journey. The event created a sense of community, recognition, and pride that reflected our dedication to student success. Seeing graduates and their families celebrate this milestone reinforced how our work contributes to helping students achieve their goals and create better futures for themselves

Cons

This event was nothing but spectacular!

Pros

Work from home, good benefits, paid time off & the pay.

Cons

They say it’s not a KPI based position but it is. They will not give commission because they say we should be in it for the students and not numbers but the position is solely based on numbers. This is not a warm, team friendly position. Even your team mates are in competition with you. You will work two Saturdays out of the month and sometimes even Sundays and they still won’t be satisfied with your work ethic.
