Pros

DeVry does have a "culture of care", with generous PTO which most supervisors do encourage employees to use.

Cons

They will never say this outright but this is basically a telemarketing position. You use an autodialer program to constantly call prospective students that have presumably requested information from the school. However, many times these students would say they never submitted a request so I'm not sure how their information landed on our systems. 90% of the time, students will not answer the phone and your day will be spent dialing and dialing with no results. Be careful though- it doesn't matter how amazing your interactions are with the ones who do answer! DeVry will consider it a fault of yours if no one answers the phone, and they will fire you at the drop of a hat if you don't meet their outrageous enrolment goals. Keep in mind, this is a for-profit college so they will encourage you to say anything to enroll the students and keep the money flowing. At the end of the day, I would feel slimy for coercing students who probably can't afford to come to school, because I had to meet my goals or get canned.

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.
