Pros

Student interaction, great colleagues all over the nation, message and vision is the same throughout the company.

Cons

The value of what kind of student we let apply is poor. If they qualify for financial aid they get accepted. Too focused on metrics that count towards the purse strings instead of the whole picture. Layoffs are talked about like its a good thing among management. Will cut back till it hurts and then cut some more. Resources are scarce to do job. Will push the employees who work hard to their limits to compensate for the ones who don't.

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.
