Pros

Devry tries to promote a healthy work environment. Devry provides the necessary tools for general skills needed for any position. Specifically, team building, communication, and growth. I enjoyed working with most coworkers.

Cons

- lots of pressure to perform well and be at your desk all the time. I had notify a manager if I was away from my desk for more than ten minutes. - Job title is misleading. I worked as an "admissions representative", but I was recruiting students by the minute. -Position is mainly based on recruitment. - Micromanagement was normalized. -minimal work life balance and flexibility. - long hours with low salary.

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.
