Pros

I'm at a loss. There are a few really nice people in the organization and that'about the only thing.

Cons

Leadership that doesn't have any idea what it's doing. Product is low quality. Organization is focused on hierarchy, posturing and bureaucracy. Lot's of individuals who believe they are knowledgeable about how to drive organizational value - but whose real experience is activity over accomplishment. Significant decision makers working as if this was 2001. Key initiative after key initiative fail - and then the executive team points fingers at staff. In 35 years of working this is the most toxic organization where I have worked - the largest set of executives who thought they were better than they were. Having worked for many organizations across different scale - I would put this entire executive team as the least competent.

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.
