Pros

The staff at the branch level are fantastic. Lots of wonderful employees with interesting backgrounds and work experiences. Each branch has its own unique team of people and communities. Hourly pay rate is pretty good, and branch librarians and managers are good. Great work/life balance, with recognition of mental health issues.

Cons

CEO is fairly absent at the branch level. Communication disconnect between the senior management and branch-level employees. Very little room for advancement, and very few full-time positions.

Pros

- the entire organization is very supportive of their employees — lots of career development opportunities, paid training sessions and workshops, employee appreciation week, constant feedback, and open/anonymous suggestion box - the company really cares about maintaining a positive culture in all of the branches, taking care to rotate staff every few years to avoid any toxic cultures from developing - the work itself is not that high pressure - supervisors and managers were generally great in all locations

Cons

- a little bit of a slow-paced environment - full-time positions are few and hard to come by
