Compensation

At DVI, you’ll join a team that hires talented professionals and provides the support and opportunities they need to grow in their careers. Consistent with our long-term client focus, we recognize and reward talent with comprehensive compensation packages designed to attract and retain professionals who embody the DVI Way.

• This position is exempt and is paid according to the laws of the State of Illinois. We are required to provide a reasonable estimate of the base compensation range for this role. The full base salary pay range is $50,000 to $80,000 per year. This range considers the wide range of factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including but not limited to experience, skills, knowledge, abilities, education, licensure and certifications, and other business and organizational needs.

Our top performers typically earn above their base salary through these incentive programs.

In addition to our industry-competitive salaries and significant incentive plan opportunities noted above, we offer a generous profit sharing 401(k) retirement plan, health insurance, life insurance, short-term and long-term disability programs, and work-from-home and paid-time-off programs. In addition, partnership status among our very top performers is also a realistic consideration.
