Avantages
Kind colleagues, beautiful work location (gardens, campus, etc), and getting to interact with a diverse group of students.
Inconvénients
Low pay (I worked in my most recent department for 6 years, and they hired an outside hire for the same position level and they started off making more than I was because my starting pay had been on the low side of the hiring range). Inconsistent management expectations. One thing about Duke is there is potential for flexibility. However, this is mostly left up to individual managers/department heads. So while some managers may be very flexible (allowing for a hybrid schedule/encouraging staff take time off, etc) other managers may require staff to be in-person every week day. I view this as a con because it creates an unfair environment amongst staff.
