Great, intellectual and fun coworkers and bosses
SWAT team member (Former Employee) – Duke University OIT – February 19, 2019
All of my part-time jobs at Duke while in school as an undergraduate student were very enjoyable! The work was fast-paced and task-oriented, and my coworkers were friendly and made work fun. I was compensated well in these entry-level positions and had the bonuses of exercise as a tour guide, and having time to do work as a SWAT team assistant.
discounts were great

Financial Analyst (Current Employee) – Durham, NC – February 1, 2019
There is no room for improvement or advancement with this university. It's all the same and you must conform or you will be eliminated. There is no enrichment of policy or procedure in the administrative positions.
Not a great place for people of color
Publishing Specialist (Current Employee) – Durham, NC – February 1, 2019
Duke likes diversity as an idea, but does nothing to maintain workplace diversity or promote people of color. It's a disappointing place to work. If you're looking to learn about publishing go somewhere else.
Ok place things and people can change without notice
