Duke University Health System Reviews

Pros

Work Culture, providers are awesome, benefits are great

Cons

turnover rate is high, company is growing and making changes too fast for staffing

Pros

The retirement is the best of any place I have worked. They give a lot of PTO as well.

Cons

Working across multiple teams. Some of the technical teams sit in different buildings so it lowers the amount of collaboration.

Pros

Good benefits, good job security

Cons

Compensation lower than other local agencies, opportunities to advance within areas are lacking

Pros

Good health insurance, good for resume to have worked at Duke, Not too much oversight or micromanaging. Good for getting foot in the door of clinical research. Good retirement plan but not vested until employed for three years.

Cons

Pay monthly permit to park and then ride shuttle bus to building. No consistency between research teams as far as policies, technology used or office perks. Be aware when hired that many of the benefits Duke touts in their orientation and handbook may not be available to you based on your manager's decision of if they want to utilize them or not. Some teams are in an office building and are able to work remotely or work...

Advice to Management

Utilize the many resources Duke has to bring the research teams into 2019. Many things are still done a certain way "because that's how we have always done them". Fairly applying supplemental benefits or educating the managers about these options could help employees to wish to stay longer.

Pros

Very professional and cares about quality of care

Cons

large system with many layers of organization

Pros

Gain strong experience, skills. RNs are all ages.

Cons

The hourly salary lower than most hospitals, but the benefits are better than most.

Advice to Management

Start increasing hourly wage so strong RNs won't leave after two years

Pros

All benefits are very good. That is good if you last beyond 3 years

Cons

You are forced to work overtime without being paid or compensated. If you don't you will not be there for a long time.

Advice to Management

Get life. Many people have life outside of Duke

Pros

They provide good health benefits

Cons

It is difficult to find free parking anywhere

Pros

Co-workers, patients are great, management is easy to get along with and set clear expectations

Cons

Pay one of the worse in area

Advice to Management

Better compensation for employees

Pros

You are able to get a lot of experience with difficult cases such as with patients that other hospitals are unable to take / refuse to do surgeries on. My floor has a great atmosphere in which we all work very well together. My management and coworkers are amazing and have allowed the transition from new grad to CNII smooth and encouraging. Also many people are not from in state which allows you to make a lot of friends...

Cons

Pay is not competitive in the area. They say you are getting underpaid because you are able to use Duke on your resume. Sometimes billing and money is placed over care of individual patients.
