Pros

It was great when I started there in 2008. The work was challenging and management was supportive.

Cons

The industry took a turn when the federal govt stepped in to regulate due to predatory practices. Executive management made some bad decisions and decided to cut the sales teams all together or down to almost nothing without any support. They put us under managers at the campuses that didn't understand account management and sales - we became very micromanaged to the point to where there was absolutely no work life balance. I had colleagues that were asked to go walk the mall trying to get people to sign up for college.

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.
