Pros

Benefits! Having a chance to make my community or people from all over smile inspite of their situations. U never know what someone is there for.

Cons

Its extrememly hard to get a job with Duke hospital. I work under a contract thru Aramark and i have been trying for years! They only want to hire from within the health system and thats not fair. I feel that i would be a great asset to this hospital i came over from UNC. But they WONT look at the external candidates resumes on the website. Ive been trying to network and pass my resume off, they wont good workers but continue to keep the ones who dont even care for their job and who abuse it. Its so frustrating and sad.

Pros

Company culture is great if you're at a location with decent human beings and I definitely felt supported by those with the same career path. If you're at the right location the experience can be good. There was a focus on career development at the first location I worked at. Unfortunately this was overshadowed by the lack of respect and utter disdain for my role at the second one. The first place lost their contract due to internal politics- the second one probably won't but they should.

Cons

GREATLY depends on local management. The first place I worked was amazing, at the second I was constantly treated to ableist microaggressions and literally told to shut up in a meeting where both the Director and a senior manager were present, and told "no one likes me" in a meeting WHERE HR WAS PRESENT. Extremely unprofessional behavior. They will NOT back you up, and it's very clear regional management doesn't care if a location is hemorrhaging staff due to poor management practices as long as they get paid and keep the "client" happy.
