Pros

great benefits available; be wary with 2025 budget/strategic realignment - Duke has to cut $350 million from budget, current hiring freeze and LOTS of layoffs

Cons

middle management has disproportionately heavy workload related to salary; risk averse (unless your department manager plays by their own rules)
