Pros
DeVry is one of the more "responsible" for-profit universities (doesn't mean that enrollments were the top priority and bending the rules aren't out of the question). I did learn quite a bit about sales and account management and there are opportunities to complete college-level work or a degree at a heavily reduced cost. I also worked with an incredible team of people and had good benefits for the type of work I did.
Cons
The job feels a bit "slimy". I really cared for my students and some of them deserved to be there but we routinely talked to folks in very remote, low-income areas which wouldn't have many opportunities for a college graduate. With degrees costing as much as $90,000 this education hurt many more then it helped. This is not a place to build a career. Admissions is difficult to get promoted in and the organization will always be at the mercy of government regulations, controversy and number of enrollments. It's just a stable industry. The culture is draining and I saw many colleagues quit with no plans, just to get out. Finally, DeVry University is no longer the breadwinner for the parent company. Their nursing schools are. So if you want to see growth, try looking in that direction.
