DeVry Employer Reviews

The IT department of DeVry is an enlightening and informative place to work at. We usually worked from 5 to 7 hour shifts per day and were allowed breaks if the day was longer. At the job, I learned all about fixing various hardware issues, defragging computers, and replacing various broken parts inside the computer towers. The managers were readily – more... available when they could be but held us under accountability to do the best we could to solve the issue should they not be available. My co-workers personalities were very diverse because they all came from different backgrounds. The most difficult part of the job came in times where you had to work alone in the booth closing shop; in these times it became necessary to keep your calm and take care of each issue that arrived one at a time in a timely manner. This jobs most enjoyable times came when ever you learned something new about the technology you didn't know before which gives you the feeling of truly learning your trade as an art. – less

I enjoyed attending DeVry simply because it expanded my knowledge base on specific technology that I am interested in.

A growth educational company in a fast paced educational environment. Campuses throught the USA and other countries

The co-workers are fun to be with and they make you feel like your home.

Designing and drafting of new construction and remodeling of existing structures. Consisted of drawings, negotiations, estimating, writing of specifications, and job site inspection.

When I first started I was told how great the job was and how it was easy to advance. The only thing that was good was the benefits and the scheduling. Management is HORRIBLE and all they do is point the fingers at the employees. Training was very unorganized, senior management was not approachable, and there is no HR available to assist. Complete waste – more... of time working there for a school that rips off their students. – less

A typical day at DeVry was helping students, Making sure that they are getting the hep they need to get good grades. Or even telling them they have to push just a little harder to get better. I learned how to listen to many people, to organize time and paperwork.

My co-workers were very friendly and got along with all of them, including my boss's. – more... Hardest part was only being summer and school break Helper. Otherwise this was an amazing job. – less

DeVry University is like a extended family that enjoys helping others to obtain, and reach their dream career. They are extremely sensitive, and thoughtful when giving guidance to others. I am extremely proud to have the honor of attending their life-changing University.

If you work in admissions you will be a glorified highly paid telemarketer. This is not a place to create a long term career; although some people do. Complete a bachelor/master degree and move on to something better. They claim there is room for advancement but only for people who kiss booty. A typical work day involves logging into a system that calls – more... people automatically and waiting for calls to come in during assigned times. This is a call center atmosphere. Most employees talk openly about how much they hate the job and how they are currently seeking a new position (myself included). You learn a lot working here about sales; but like I said, not a long term career. – less

Fast-paced, fun work environment where you can gain valuable business skills.

The most enjoyable part of the job was seeing students meet their educational goals and helping co-workers with their responsibilities. This is a very intense, deadline-oriented work place. I learned to be a great multi-tasker, Co-workers made the job special.

DeVry has been a good employer to work for. Due to my position here I have been able to obtain my bachelors degree. I work in admissions and this position is very secure if you are willing to work hard. I guess growth is possible but due to changes over the past few years growth out of an advisor role is very hard to obtain.

Enjoyable working environment interacting with students and faculty

When I worked for DeVry University, I learned that students were able to take online classes. I assisted students in selecting the appropriate courses and directing them to other department to finalize their course selections.

Working for DeVry didn't have anything typical to it. There was always a new challenge, always something new to learn, always another summit to climb. Work hours were strange, and often ended having class in the morning, working the afternoon, and having class again at night, or the exact opposite - work in the morning and night with class in the afternoon.

Part – more... of what helped me the most at DeVry though, was being able to connect with people so well. I was a tutor and a mentor, and part of what I did was just talking to people. Now, I wasn't a talker by any means, but what I did really love was helping people. I got to help people every day at DeVry.

Some of the hardest things at DeVry wasn't so much the work load, but getting those students who would come in and ask for help, but have not done anything to help themselves. It was very frustrating, and it got to the point where many of us tutors said, "If you're not going to do anything for yourself, then we can't help you. Sit down and read the material that you were meant to read for class, take some notes, and then if you still don't understand it you can come back and ask for help."

I think the most enjoyable thing about working with DeVry was being able to help people. I could stand at a white board with 6 other students, 2 professors, and my coworkers watching me lay out complex math problems for one of the electronics courses I had taken, and watch everyone's faces light up when they saw how it was solved AND that they understood the process. It was highly enjoyable for me. Definitely something that I want to continue doing through life. – less

I worked as an adjunct for a number of years. My pay wouldn't be processed correctly, Classes were dropped at the last minute. Most students were great but some were rude, even harassing me, but nothing was done by administration to help. Rules changed over and over again, as did administration. There are plenty of business schools in the New York metro – more... area. Find one that treats staff with respect and integrity. – less

Mission is clearly stated and entire organization effectively works towards achievement

As an Admissions Representative in the South Florida Metro (Miami, Miramar and Fort Lauderdale) expect to work either M-Th10am till 8pm or 9am till 7pm with rotating Fridays and Saturdays 9-1pm which will give you no work life balance. The job itself isn't hard but the managers make it very difficult. There is a lot of favoritism within the company – more... itself. In order to move up within the company you have to suck up to the managers and do a lot of snitching on fellow co-workers. The job is a numbers game and not about the prospective students, so if you enroll a lot of students they will love you but its not about just enrolling prospects into school you want to make sure they complete there degree and that's why DeVry retention rate is so low because a lot of the prospects that enroll into DeVry aren't ready for college so they drop out. With that said, if your not enrolling the amount of students that they want you to enroll then they will begin to threaten your job and put you on a 30 day probation and try to pin a case against you so that they can fire you (stressful). The only thing I enjoyed about the job was my co-workers they are good people that ended up in a poor organization. – less

Tons of access to career development and training to improve your skills. Use the entry level position to either take the management route or enroll to the training courses to prep you to go to a different department. The admission role is rewarding as you get to help those make a positive change in their life. However, the late night and occasional – more... saturday (pending location) does take a toll on balance of work and life. Management is ok, they are open to your ideas and input to create a better campus. – less
