Pros

Co-workers are team players and most are very friendly and pleasant to be around; Public varies by branch but most are nice and grateful for service provided; Benefits package for full-time is great; Salaries are so-so unless you are management

Cons

Management at branches, administration and basically throughout system is unapproachable, vindictive and often unprofessional; HR is clueless and often says one thing and does another; Policies are not universally applied, it's all whether they like you or not; Some great people get passed over for promotions while inexperience, incompetence and even meanness is rewarded; No benefits for part-timers

Pros

The management team at my branch was skilled, empathetic, and collaborative

Cons

No cons really. My branch is across the street from a middle school, so teenagers are very much that Branch's bread and butter.
