Pros

Benefits are great, wonderful health insurance. Great work to do. Some very interesting and exciting projects going on. Overall a decent place. There are a lot of very talented people working for Duke. nice folks to work with.

Cons

Politics, politics, and more politics. A lot of red tape anytime you want to do anything. A view that IT is not central to success at all. If you thrive in a large organization you'll be fine. Parking is terrible but you quickly get used to it. Like all universities if you don't have a PHD you don't get too far on the totem pole.

Pros

It's a pretty good starting point if you are wanting to get your foot in the door working on the administrative side of healthcare. Engaging with patients can be very rewarding and if you enjoy customer service (especially hospitality or food service) this can be a great role that feels similar to interacting with patrons, but you don't have to work weekends, there's very good benefits, and you don't have to work 12 hours a day.

Cons

There are a lot of issues both with Duke Hospital and the Eye Center itself. Duke University Hospital is on the college campus so you will have to pay for parking. You aren't paid well, even with the $20 minimum wage increase, it's still only about $40,000/year but with having to pay for parking... even the cheapest garage at $95 a month, that's $1,140 a year gone from your check. There is no "free" parking even close to the hospital, so they really screw you there. The Eye Center has struggled with processes in the clinic and management is run ragged. There are too many employees that don't care much for the job they are doing and Duke makes it incredibly difficult to hold those employees accountable and for management to make proper layoffs.
