"The opportunities that Duke offers are amazing. You could start off in housekeeping and end up a director if you have the goal for it. Duke gives you the tools to get there."

"What I really liked during my first visit to Duke, which in the end helped me to want to end up at Duke, was Duke Gardens. Because my office is so close, I can walk over and sit where it's quiet among the flowers and contemplate in deep thought to think about a class or my day. I often do that and it's been a great benefit for me."

"I worked for the government for seven years and the benefits here are much better. I also feel like a college campus is a great place to work because you have variety of really smart people with different backgrounds, all working together and learning from each other."

"I value the other people I work with. We're the kind of people that share interests in the same things. The benefits are also great. The healthcare plan pays for itself."

"I value the retirement plan because it's extra money, and the more, the better. If you don't have enough of your own money, then you have that to fall back on because of Duke. It's something we'll need when we do retire. We don't want to retire, then have to come back to work."
