Top Review Highlights by Sentiment
- "Biggest advantage of DCRI is that it is part of Duke with great benefits and regular work hours" (in 28 reviews)
- "out, management gives into requests or wants of the thought leaders that aren't always feasible or that don't always make sense for a given trial or task...as one can imagine, this doesn't always bode well for the staff working on said trial or for management who at some point has to answer for the progress, mistakes, planning or timelines of a given trial." (in 15 reviews)
- "It is hard to bring (or keep) quality employees because of the low pay structure and terrible annual raises." (in 12 reviews)
- "They are always researching the low salaries with other companies but salaries never change." (in 10 reviews)
- "HR doesn't listen either and are of no help when an employee has an issue with a bad manager" (in 8 reviews)
- "Upper management made the wrong decisions and middle management were not supportive." (in 5 reviews)
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
After over 4 years working at DCRI, I can honestly say that I love it here! I find the work challenging, rewarding and fulfilling. The work/home balance (even before Covid), is great. My manager is caring, thoughtful, a great leader and overall just a pleasant person to work with. I feel like my time is valued, my skills are used efficiently, and I am appreciated. The way they have handled Covid is what really stands out (especially since I hear from my friends and family members how horrible the companies they work for are handling it). DCRI has been very transparent about Covid, working from home, plans to come back to work, and basically communicates regularly on how things are going. They mailed us masks in the mail and sanitizer, and are not rushing to make everyone go back to the office unless it is safe to do so. They very easily switched to working from home when the pandemic began and have been amazing at handling employee concerns. As an employee I feel that my safety is at the forefront of their decisions and myself and my family are so thankful for that. They have also addressed topics of diversity and equality head on and continue to make strides in ensuring a diverse workforce.
Cons
The lack of raises and contribution to the 403B plan this year isn’t great, but understandable due to Covid. I really hate having to pay for parking.
