Duke University Employer Reviews

Would check in, get my assigned floor to strip and wax. The management was not supportive of the workers. The third shift crew didn't seem to be in a good mood, because of management. Dealing with management was the hardest part of the job. When my day consisted of striping, waxing, and doing carpets

A typical day at Duke University involved various meeting to discuss project status updates, expected deliverables and unforeseen issues on current projects. Other duties included management of IT System and customer support on an as-needed basis. The hardest part of the job was the many hats that had to be worn at any one time due to small team and – more... budget constraints. The most enjoyable part of the job was bringing a project to completion and having a satisfied customer. The environment was very team oriented and collaborative. I learned to work well with others, great time management and how to overcome adversity when projects didn't go as planned. Management was generally supportive and easy to work with. – less

Running shifts ranging from 5 am- 2 am.

Management ranges from shift supervisor to CEO with many various positions in between which can make communication difficult at times.
Hardest part of the job was the instability of a regular schedule. – more... At times a week could consist of working 3pm-2am, 9am-7pm, 3pm-2am etc...maintaining a stable life was difficult. However, an enjoyable aspect was being able to have hands in many different parts of the company; HR, production, management, etc. – less

I moved out of state to come to Duke and overall was not disappointed. Granted, I was not to jazzed at making 9k less than agreed upon prior to coming, especially considering the fact that I had just received my second raise in seven months at my previous job. Nevertheless, I learned a priceless lesson from that. Put it on paper! My typical day at work – more... was pleasant and included contacting and recruiting patients. The hardest part of the job was not being able to always recruit as quickly as possible and trying to devise the best compensation plan possible for subjects and delivering as quickly as possible. The most enjoyable part of the job was gaining access to all Duke had to offer. The bus pass provided by the University really helped in reducing my transport costs and being able to gain greater success in my job function by being able to be more flexible for my patients by not having to worry about parking. The workout facilities were world class too. Now that I work for another company, I definitely wish I would have taken greater advantage of all they had to offer. – less
