Duke University Health System Reviews

Pros

commitment to diversity, inclusion and equality Leader in medical research

Cons

Struggles with transparency in it's business interactions

Pros

I started during a time of transition which caused a lot of frustration on my end. Since then my dept at Duke has improved a lot of the processes. -Recently improved compensation for the roles most people recruit for - Outside the box thinking, no longer doing things the "duke" way no matter what -Work life balance is very good. Good covid/remote response -Great benefits including a really awesome 401k match -A team that really cares

Cons

- Still some outdated processes hanging around - Working for a large org can be tough(not duke specific) - Many times you are more of a jack of all trades HR person rather than recruiter

Pros

Benefits are great Duke name Ability to work with variety of people throughout Duke on projects Huge growth opportunity, even if you are a bad leader, if you know the right people

Cons

Toxic work environment Turnover in my department - I wish I had asked more questions during interview and read the Glassdoor reviews about strategic planning. Turns out there has been over 200% turnover since the current leader was hired in planning. Almost every month it seems a new person joins the team, and no one stays longer than 2 years. But apparently that isn’t important because the leader was just promoted to an executive leadership position. Management benefits at our expense. We work under extreme conditions with high and unrealistic expectations. But we have to put on a happy face when we meet with people outside the department so management looks good and gets all the praise. I have heard so many people talking about the ineffectiveness of the strategic planning team and its management. Yet Duke executive leadership promotes and rewards mismanagement.

Pros

Amazing 403B contributions and insurance. Fantastic work culture. Flexible with child care from home during a pandemic. Offers great events during work hours and encourages you to step away from your desk and participate.

Cons

Red tape and slow decision-making from leadership. You can get steamrolled with work if you allow it. Pay is lower than the area average, but the benefits make up for it.

Pros

- Competitive Salaries - Unbeatable Health Benefits - Unbeatable Retirement Contribution

Cons

- Mediocre Vision & Dental - Many strategic decisions on work effort seem to be dictated by Epic and not what Duke Health needs - Senior Leadership is obsessed with social justice messaging to the tune of 1-2 emails per week with something referencing these types of issues - Senior Leadership fails to recognize the diversity of beliefs and ideas of their employees

Pros

Great benefits and very community/patient oriented.

Cons

To much micromanaging by lower level leaders in some departments.
