      Pros

      Great PTO. 15 days/yr + 8 holidays and 1 discretionary day for each month without a holiday.

      Cons

      Difficult to negotiate pay as a new graduate/entry level position, will likely not budge on salary negotiation. No CEU stipend.

      Great benefits, but difficult environment in Health Policy Center

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Great benefits - Beautiful campus - School spirit and pride in the university amongst staff, faculty, and students

      Cons

      It depends on what area or department you work in. I worked at the Health Policy Center on the Education Team within Duke University and it was not a good environment to work in at all. Being at Duke is what made is better but within the health policy center, there were a lot of biases and politics that made is extremely challenging to be happy there.

      Great resume builder - good experience

      Pros

      This is a great experience and my team was excited to work with undergrads. I learned a lot and participated in stand up meetings.

      Cons

      It really varies based on your team and how much experience you are able to contribute. Sometimes the teams don't have a clear role for you or there's a lack of communication.
