Pros

Pay is better than most other institutions for part-time faculty. The class setting is blended, which gives you the flexibility to teach online and onsite. This also opens opportunities for full-time online teaching. Not overwhelmed with meetings or extracurricular duties. Flexibility to teach when I feel like it.

Cons

Though I am a DeVry employee, I teach at the Chamberlain College of Nursing. We do not interact with Chamberlain faculty, so it seems as if we are outsiders borrowing time and space on their campus. The DeVry faculty have little interaction also. There is little to no room for advancement or career development. High turnover rate for science faculty.

Pros

Not punching a clock There are students that are incredible! Coworkers are great! Pay isn't bad

Cons

* Office culture is abysmal.. * communication is a joke. * Management seems to look through a macro lens at problems that are global. * Employees are reminded that your position has not to do with merit or successful students, but with the money the students bring it, ergo, keeping student satisfaction is the primary goal- not how they do academically. Which IMO is immoral, and an abuse of the students' money and effort. * Leadership is not present in every department, as there is consistently a high turnover. * Change that would lead to improvement is encouraged, then denied at every turn. * Pay needs to be better. It looks great on paper, but If you factor the 60 plus hours most employees put in, and the $150 monthly for health insurance (single person), then the rate is only a bit above minimum wage.
