Pros

Free education is the only benefit worth mentioning.

Cons

They get rid of older, experienced employees and hire younger inexperienced people. Most stressful job ever. They expect financial aid consultants to act as sales reps but don't pay them that salary. I question their integrity. They employ a "used car" selling tactic to unsuspecting students. Leadership needs a major overhaul. They say they are interested in education but many of their supervisors don't have degrees and are not actively pursuing them. No promotional opportunities exist there unless you are in the "good ole boys club." I left on my own accord because I got tired of the horrible treatment of students and how we were instructed to "sell" DeVry no matter how much debt the student was in. They changed the hours of work to made it impossible for a single parent to continue working there. They have no consideration for balancing work and family. Not a family oriented company at all. No promotional opportunities exist there unless you are the friend of management.

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.
