Unrealistic expectations for employees - Anonymous employee Yale University Library Employee Review

Pros

The money is pretty good.

Cons

First of all, don't apply for a job unless you have 100% perfect knowledge and years of experience in every single aspect of the job. They do not want to have to provide any training or guidance, you are expected to come in on your first day and automatically know exactly what to do, down to the detail. Employers always want candidates with experience, but they don't provide a way to *get* that experience. I guess at Yale, they are so full of themselves because it's a famous university, so they feel it's beneath them to provide any training - that's the responsibility of the less-prestigious libraries.

Pros

Great team, good bosses, overall a relaxed environment. The job was fairly easy and you could listen to music or podcasts while doing most tasks.

Cons

The 3 o'clock meetings were a waste of time, communication within the workplace could be improved. If you get stuck on a single task for too long it can become monotonous.
