Reviews about "duke"
Return to all Reviews- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Duke really takes care of their team members.
Cons
Duke is not as competitive with salary as others in this area but makes up for it in other ways.
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Health insurance and dentist insurance was pretty good as long as you went to any Duke hospital.
Cons
Barely any raises. Pay for parking. No 401k but you could get a pension if you stay a minimum of 5 years
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
The joy of working with moms and babies as well as all the other LC's are nice and hard working. The pay is competitive.
Cons
Beware working here as an LC! Current shortage of LC's because 9 quit (75%) all for the same reason and several more looking elsewhere for jobs. The problem is poor management based on bullying and micromanaging from nursing management. LC's are excluded from any decision making or development planning. They have taken away our office at Duke and also our ability to self schedule. They try and prevent the LC's from communicating between the different locations, and there is no Lactation Department anywhere in the Duke Health System, it is just the various nurse managers making uneducated mandates about LC's related to work flow, patient care and etc. They do not want LC input nor do they ask for it. Their current strategy is get as many RN's to pass the IBCLC exam and throw them in there. They want the title only, not the experience or expertise.

Pros
Duke is a good place to start a career and get the training you need to move forward in your field...somewhere else
Cons
Pay is far too low. Advancement is favor based not knowledge or merit based

Pros
Great people and awesome to be a part of Duke. Only left to continue education.
Cons
Low on pay, but insurance was great!
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Offers Flexible Scheduling , PTO accumulation, Nurse Residency Program, Great Preceptors, Nurse Loan Forgiveness Program, Uses Epic EMR software, Magnet Hospital , relocation assistance, One of the best hospitals in the USA, Great location to work live and play tons to do great weather!
Cons
Duke does not pay nurses enough and does not offer raises and if they do its like 20 cents a year . That is one of the reasons why nurses leave Duke is to find hospitals who will pay them what there worth. Health, dental and vision insurance is also very expensive . Duke also needs some improvement on their nurse to patient ratios they can sometimes be overwhelming especially on Step down, PCU and Med Surg Units.

Great Focus on employees, working environment and our customers
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Duke focuses heavily on their employees, their are 'work culture' teams set up to dive into what is needed from the level 1's and up and actions are taken as best as they can to improve. Duke has excellent benefits and their PTO/Vaca days compile at a ridiculous rate which is amazing for all.
Cons
Duke has so many offices and work areas spread over the area it can be difficult to work together as a team, some things are compartmentalized but they are working to rectify some of that.
- Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Duke is a learning hospital so there are a lot of opportunities for growth in your career. The leadership team I work under is excellent. I am able to work part time.
Cons
It is a very large hospital and parking is difficult.

Pros
Patient transport, phlebotomy, access to all modern healthcare has to offer
Cons
Compensation for the amount of work nurses do is low and they keep it there because 'working at Duke is a priviledge'
Thank you for taking the time to write a thoughtful review. We are delighted to hear that you have had access to all that modern healthcare has to offer during your career at Duke Health. We want to ensure that team members are supported in both work and in life with comprehensive benefits that let you plan your future. Know that is why we are continually looking at ways to improve our Total Rewards Program. This calendar year that will include additional investments in pay for team members, including nurses.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Free parking and lots of resources to advance up the clinical ladder… specifically at Duke Regional Hospital.
Cons
Currently poor staffing of nurses and nurse aides. Lack of appreciation for the hard work people put in from upper management. Place feels like an assembly line at a factory.
