Pros
DeVry provides robust training for new colleagues that are coming into the Student Support Advisor role. Ongoing training is also provided. There is a lot of room for growth and advancement within the organization. Nearly everyone in upper leadership has been with the organization for a long time. Strong core values on advancing DE&I through Business Resource Groups. There is a lot of opportunity to network within the organization. DeVry provides competitive compensation with annual increases. PTO is substantive and increases based on years with the organization plus the ability to buy up additional days. 401k + 6% match is very nice. Mental health resources are also provided.
Cons
Being in a fully remote environment has its challenges, but the organization is aware and working to solve problems that are brought up. Moving into leadership takes time as those in leadership do not frequently leave the university. Raises based on internal equity would be much appreciated. For example, more value should be placed on furthering ones education as this advances internal talent. Medical insurance through UMR is expensive and the ROI is low.
