Duke Health reviews

Pay barely touches national averages for most DHTS staff positions. Annual increases nearly non-existent. Minimal bumps in pay when moving to new positions. Constant turnover at the top: Due to the size of the organization and the reputation that the "Duke" name carries, it seems the top positions in management are just stepping stones for these professionals to move on to the "next thing". So after each nationwide search, a new face comes in with a new vision and gets 1/3 of the way through that vision before that "next thing" becomes available and they jump ship, only for another new face to come in with a whole new vision. Leadership is constantly starting over before we ever get to see what any one of the various visions looks like in practice.

The floors can tend to be against each other. Promotions to management are not based on skill and education of the person, but if you are part of the clique. You do not maintain your position based on accomplishments just if senior leadership will put up with you.
