This job was unsatisfactory for me because there was not a lot of work to do on a daily basis. I spent many days sitting at my desk with no work. It makes for a long day.

Pros

Good pay

Cons

Boring job

Interesting work

Research Assistant (Former Employee) - Durham, NC - January 20, 2023

I worked part-time in the Social Sciences Department on a project for the Moral AI team. It was a little chaotic, with projects getting introduced and dropped all the time, but it was a fun place to work and everyone I worked with was super brilliant and cool.

Amazing experience

Graduate Teaching Assistant (Former Employee) - Durham, NC - January 18, 2023

First, your experience totally depends on the professor or the course/department under which you're TA'ing but in all cases it would be a great learning curve. The salaries are competitive, and administration takes good care of the TA's. There are although some perks like free printing and other events but not a whole lot of them. Overall a comfortable and enjoyable side hustle.

Student Account Analyst (Current Employee) - Durham, NC - January 6, 2023

I have been at Duke for 8 years. I love my department and my supervisor. The job is challenging which I love and I have the perfect work life balance. I am in a hybrid position and I love working from home. I also enjoy coming in the office some days to interact with adults!

decent benefits, cheap labor

Research Technician III (Current Employee) - Durham, NC - December 20, 2022

We're cheap labor here. We run a lot of experiments and are not well compensated. They tell you that you're valuable but then they don't really act that way.

Pharmacy technician patient assistance

Prior Authorization Specialist (Current Employee) - Durham, NC - November 10, 2022

It's ok. The supervisor isn't to great and starts drama. The pay isn't that great for the work load that is required. You tell the manager about the supervisor and nothing is done. I wish that something would be done because it wouldn't be such a bad job if the supervisor was better and they pay as well. She was literally talking about and employees to other employees. Just left a bad tasteo

Pros

Hours. No weekends

Cons

The pay, the supervisor, having to pay for parking, the work load.

Good culture, bad pay

RN (Current Employee) - Durham, NC - October 30, 2022

Culture is very important and duke does a good job of trying to keep a nontoxic culture. The pay is lacking and it shows in the high turnover rate. It is a good stepping stone for nurses.
