Pros

Excellent work/life balance and retirement benefits. If you're in a solid, well-respected group, management will have your back. Lots of good employees want to affect change.

Cons

Highly siloed. Communication across groups is pitiful. There are no consequences for doing a terrible job or being unresponsive. Lots of infrastructure groups are very slow to respond to internal support needs and just don't seem to care whether or not they do their job correctly. No career growth. There's nowhere to go as a senior IT employee except into management. If you want tech opportunities, there are very few. Laughable education budget. Minimal technical training for IT staff. Lots of dead wood. Many long time employees coasting to retirement. Intelligence of staff is sub-par. For most, it's just a job, not a career. Employees who want career advancement and look for new challenges are met with roadblock after roadblock so it becomes a losing battle.

Pros

It's a pretty good starting point if you are wanting to get your foot in the door working on the administrative side of healthcare. Engaging with patients can be very rewarding and if you enjoy customer service (especially hospitality or food service) this can be a great role that feels similar to interacting with patrons, but you don't have to work weekends, there's very good benefits, and you don't have to work 12 hours a day.

Cons

There are a lot of issues both with Duke Hospital and the Eye Center itself. Duke University Hospital is on the college campus so you will have to pay for parking. You aren't paid well, even with the $20 minimum wage increase, it's still only about $40,000/year but with having to pay for parking... even the cheapest garage at $95 a month, that's $1,140 a year gone from your check. There is no "free" parking even close to the hospital, so they really screw you there. The Eye Center has struggled with processes in the clinic and management is run ragged. There are too many employees that don't care much for the job they are doing and Duke makes it incredibly difficult to hold those employees accountable and for management to make proper layoffs.
