Pros

I worked 12 hour shifts which gave me a lot of free time. I was fortunate to have a great supervisor!

Cons

The job was very stressful in its self but then they started rotating our schedules working days, nights and weekends. Many employees had to quit or find a new job in Duke. Upper management (VP and above) showed a lack of concern many times in the decisions they made which affected not just us regular employees but supervisors and managers who were constantly forced to try and do MORE with LESS!! ... and that always affects customers in and outside the company!

Pros

Keep in mind this is in the eyes of an intern but: - employees are friendly and willing to help if asked - lots of learning opportunity - projects in which you can apply what you learned - lenient WFH

Cons

- the quality of your project can be dependent on which team you are on and your mentor guiding you

Pros

Strong job stability in a regulated utility environment, along with competitive pay and solid benefits package. My immediate team is genuinely supportive and collaborative — we work well together and have each other's backs. The work itself offers a sense of purpose given the essential nature of the industry.

Cons

Upper management operates with limited transparency and decisions flow strictly top-down, with little visibility into the reasoning behind strategic choices. The compensation structure does not differentiate for high performers — annual raises tend to land at or below inflation. Work groups across the department are heavily siloed, which limits cross-functional collaboration and slows knowledge sharing and adds frustration.
