Pros

Only reason to work there is the benefits. They are ok. However, I would never refer anyone to work at DeVry... even my worst enemy.

Cons

Mistreat employees by overworking and underpaying employees. No room for internal promotions. It is all politics. DeVry does not promote based on merit or hard work. Management is not qualified and just puppets for DeVry, Inc. They are a joke. DeVry should be investigated for HR payroll and confidentiality infractions. The school is unethical in their admissions requirements by requiring all advisors to ask for a referral in every phone call and interview or they are reprimanded. Admission goals are really unrealistic sales goals. Promotions and reviews are biased and unfair. Metro President only cuts budgets and condones layoffs. The employees voice is unappreciated and unheard.

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.
