Pros

Duke has friendly staff. Living in the triangle can be a fun place for a while, and overall the staff at duke is very nice. Teamwork is pretty solid and ideas are encouraged to help with patient care. Health benefits and 401k is competitive with NC. You will learn a lot working next to highly educated medical staff.

Cons

Duke is extremely low paying considering the area is becoming very expensive. Owning a home on a duke salary can be difficulty. Other local hospitals pay much better. Duke charges its staff for parking that is over priced and inconvenient. As a nurse at duke I was NEVER offered a break bedsides my lunch break. Which not only breaks labor laws I'm sure but makes nurses exhausted and feel under appreciated. Working in ambulatory you don't always receive your hours which you must supplement with PTO or not get paid. Nurses do not stay due to low salary, and there a ton of travelers supporting the facility everyday.

Pros

- Teams are made up of passionate people - Duke is open to hiring motivated, educated individuals without experience - Physician investigators are brilliant and inspiring to work with

Cons

- Each clinical research team is isolated from each other. This results in a lack of knowledge transfer -- some teams are thriving while others are continuously unsuccessful. - Supervisors receive no formal management training. Some individuals are not natural leaders and would HIGHLY benefit from this education. - Lack of management leadership skills cultivates a toxic work environment. Advice to applicants: Ask how much turn over the group you are potentially joining has had. If there has been significant turnover ask why.

Pros

All costs for student health center covered 100%, so no out of pocket expenses. Great access to the variety of shared resources and core facilities associated with the medical school.

Cons

Constantly upgrades/construction going on to expand facilities and increase capacity (which is a positive sign) but can often lead to a lack of continuity with regard to larger organization.
