Pros

Medical, education, pay time off PTO is good in compare to other company in the area.

Cons

Management is managing their people by the seat of their pants. Some of them are seat warmer. They came to work here after 30 years in service. They are only talk without merit. They have people without technical or college degree as level of associate chief technology officer. They just collected their paycheck for their incompetence. They hired people they knew not people's experience or competence. People were let go by new NC's CIO from NC ITS are here to collect big paycheck by buddy system.

Pros

There is currently too much change and chaos to be able to point out any pros. There is a lot of uncertainty. Check back in a few years when things settle down.

Cons

Working for DHTS had always been a tradeoff between low salary/lack of opportunities and stability/work environment. Senior leadership has changed. There is no longer any stability or loyalty and the environment has degraded.

Pros

Part of Duke University Health System, so super benefits. Financially challenged with FTE's not approved unless a patient care/safety issue, so plenty of opportunities for people in support roles to take on additional responsibility and puff up the resume. On-site cafeteria, coffee shop and gift shop.

Cons

Politics, politics, politics! It takes an Act of Congress to get anything done. So many approval levels to do something as simple as replace a broken chair. Nurses receive disproportionate praise here. Granted the ones I knew and worked with were phenomenal people, but there are many other jobs critical to making the hospital successful. Turnover was a problem and rumored to have the highest turnover rate in the Duke system. Some departments turned over completely every few years and others couldn't keep someone in the department manager position. The hospital is located in a depressed area reportedly nestled against gang territory. I don't know how true that is, but I was accosted several times in the parking lot in broad daylight by mentally altered people looking for the emergency room or begging for change.
