Overall great company
Military Admissions Advisor Consultent (Former Employee), Phoenix, AZ – June 10, 2013
Pros: great pay, lots of room for advancement in the beginning
Cons: in the end the company became more about the stock price instead of a slow and steady growth.
In the beginning it truly was all about the student. Towards the end and what I believed eventually caused the Phoenix office to be closed, upper management pushed to fast and to hard to make DeVry only about signing up more students so the stock would go up. As an adviser, I became so busy slamming students through the door I was not able to give the – more... individual student the proper help and attention that they needed to be successful as a student. In the end, it caused students to drop out after only a few classes. I was very excited to work for DeVry since I have seen their commercials since a youngster. The people the I immediately worked with are some of the best people I have ever worked with. – less

What I learned
Senior Advisor (Current Employee), Chicago, IL – May 30, 2013
Pros: free food and team/region outings
Cons: mandatory saturday work day-once a month
I have learned to always do your very best on a daily basis. Set an example for your peers and always look for self improvement opportunities. Find a mentor in the company that you can model yourself after, if not learn from. Look for opportunities for advancement and management training programs for improving your brand. Seek help from someone you – more... trust when you have an area of opportunity and remember to maximize your strengths. This job is what you make it and you have a lot to gain from it if you go after it. If you don't go for it, people will pass you by. – less

Good company.
Team Lead (Former Employee), Phoenix, AZ – May 29, 2013
Pros: good compensation
Cons: micro-management and constant pressure
They provide good benefits but it is a very fast paced, results driven environment. Saw instances where students admitted who weren't able to pass admittance tests in order to meet numbers. Staff is micro-managed to extent not previously experienced. DeVry is for a for profit institution so lots of pressure about meeting numbers. Good benefits.

A Great Stable Entry Level Career in IT.
IT Lab Assistant (Former Employee), Fort Washington, PA – May 24, 2013
Pros: access to teachers lounge, invitation to free school events.
Cons: no health plans.
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

not what it seems
Senior Advisor (Current Employee), Orlando, FL – May 7, 2013
Pros: salary is decent, benefits are good
Cons: management is horrible, no organization, they promise advancement but cannot deliver with the amount of layoffs they have
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

Productive workplace with good co-workers
Office Clerk/Receptionist (Former Employee), Oakbrook Terrace, IL – May 6, 2013
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
