Pros

The training processes for a new salesperson bka admissions advisor is second to none. Teamwork is an understatement, there are coworkers here who will bend ovver backwards and then some to help you out. The pay and benefits are decent considering the routine nature of the work.

Cons

People say "I hate to be micromanaged" but they have no idea what DeVry has in store, if it weren't borderline stalkerish I'd be amazed at the technology. Mattersight records voice patterns and word combinations to ensure compliance, salesforce.com and collabrio monitor/record every dial that you make. Managers are walking throught the aisles to ensure you stay on task and emails-instant messages-internet activity can be monitored in real time. Additionally there is one mgr for every 10-12 reps so there are literally 12 people aiming for management and one opening annually persay so there can be carrot dangling for promotions which encourages a bit of backstabbing from time to time in an effort to limelight outside of normal recognition.

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.
