Pros

I loved the people, the work, and everything about the library system. Great for high school students because of the hours and wage.

Cons

The hiring process is ridiculous and worthless. Many qualified people are overlooked for outside candidates who perform better on interviews who are then let go after bad performance on the job. When even your supervisor says they wanted you for the position, that tells you something.

Pros

Quality benefits. Annual banks of sick, vacation, personal, and birthday leave are plentiful.

Cons

Dysfunctional high level management. I had fine experiences in day to day operations but the rift between branch staff and administrative staff is vast.
