Pros

The benefits and retirement plan for monthly employees are excellent.

Cons

My current Sr. manager is great. My former one was terrible. No matter how much work you did, it was never good enough and it was never enough. His favorites were given excellent reviews and allowed to do very little work.

Pros

Good work - life balance.

Cons

Fellows who receive their own grants are not considered employees and are not eligible for employee benefits (retirement, etc) but post-docs who fail to get their own funding are. Seems backwards to reward the failures and "punish" success.

Pros

Duke offers excellent benefits. Health care, dental care are good but you'll pay for them. Retirement plans for salaried employees are very good with matching contributions. Durham is a great city with lots of culture of all types.

Cons

It is easy to get lost in the system. You'll have to be good at "networking" to get ahead. There seems to be infinite resources for new buildings but not enough to give employees meaningful raises. Management turn-over seems high to me. Managers often lack people skills or technical skill. Hard to find someone with both.
