Pros

I work with Great employees/friends.

Cons

I’ve never been associated with a company with such HORRIBLE upper-level management (president, directors, deans). The president has no trust in the employees and always chooses to hire outside of company for higher level positions. Also, makes sure that everyone’s annual review is coded as “still developing” so no promotions could be asked for or raises given. There are employees who have been here for years and their annual review shows as “still developing”…Really? The Directors idea of management is applying scare tactics. They want to break you down and make you feel like you’re not good enough. They do this so they could have some type of “control” over you. Nothing positive about your performance comes out of a directors mouth, not even if you’re short of amazing. There is no job security and are consistent annual layoffs in July. Typically, the ones getting laid off are the ones with a higher salary, so even if you got a promotion, you would eventually be let go. In addition, The company closed down over 40+ locations in the past few month and is not looking good. Past 2 months at my location: Just to give you an idea of what’s been going on. We went from 4 directors of admissions to 1, 3 admissions reps were let go, 1 dean has resigned, 3 success coaches resigned all in 1 week, 1 student finance consultant resigned, and the student central manager has resigned also. ***PAST 2 MONTHS! Stay FAR away from this company because other companies do not even respect someone with Devry on their resume (even with attending a top university).

Pros

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.
