Pros

I have nothing bad to say about management or my coworkers. They give in-depth training and are available to help once your training is over. I would work at DeVry again if there was a better position open near me than this one. The company was fine, it was the job itself that I didn't enjoy.

Cons

I wasn't too thrilled about this job based on other similar reviews, but I was in a bind. As others have said about this role, it is basically telemarketing. All someone has to do is express interest, and they will be inundated with calls. If they actually are serious about applying, they must sit through this phone call filled with information that can easily be found online. You sit for most of the day making hundreds of dead-end calls, saying hello and immediately being hung up on, and occasionally being cursed at for spam calling. You're lucky if you talk to 1 to 2 actual prospective students a day, and even luckier if you are ever able to follow up with them after the initial call. This isn't a position that I was proud to say I held. All that being said, there are people who have been in this role for years, so obviously it's for somebody. Just not for me.

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

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.
