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.

Love my department
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.

Staff Nurse Assistant (Former Employee) - Durham, NC - December 20, 2022
What is the best part of working at the company? The respect of the people that I have worked with when i was an employee.

Seeing your family member coming in client and trying to help them. And some staff care and some staff don't What is the work environment and culture like at the company? very diverse. You have to be pleasant at all time without violating someone personal information. What is a typical day like for you at the company? I need great service and not a lot of foolishness

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.

Excellent Communications Co-workers
Research Communications (Former Employee) - Durham, NC - October 27, 2022
I really enjoyed my communications co-workers. I also appreciated the flexibility to work from home during the pandemic, with Zoom meetings instead of in-person staff and project meetings.
