Not the same company it used to be

Pros

Duke has a fairly good benefits package and overall compensation( salary, benefits, 401-K match, etc) are very good.

Cons

Duke is very aggresively cutting costs and is doing so at the expense of many of it's employees. In many cases, it is using arbitrary criteria like physical location to determine where to cut headcount. I predict Duke will lose many good, seasoned people over the next few years.

Pros

has been an awesome job - great work\life balance - respect for life outside work. expected to get work done & produce - but never overbearing and able to be flexible when needed. HAS been awesome - shame some Cincy jobs moving to Charlotte. Charlotte office is pretty nice also, just too far from family. Would have stayed forever :-)

Cons

Has been hard to operate out of 2 offices sometimes Charlotte & Cincy - just didn't become 'easy' for some to have staff in 2 places.

Pros

The company is well led and, I believe, makes a reasonable effort to see to it's employees' needs, happiness, and welfare. There are numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth. Happy and engaging work environment overall.

Cons

Communication isn't always what it could be. Some departments seem to treat their employees differently than others - not consistent. Current economic concerns might stretch into limiting company needs a bit too much.
