Nice place to work but... - Anonymous employee Jefferson County Public Library Employee Review

Story time, planning and hosting library programs

The public can be nasty

Nice colleagues, better than being unemployed while you look for a better position elsewhere.

- Dead end job without meaningful opportunities for advancement, relevant training, or raises. - Even with recent unionization, wages for many long term employees are less than $20/hr with no realistic path forward to a living wage for this area. This is for college degreed employees. - Massive administrative bloat and waste - Expects employees to be constant social workers for patrons while employees are paid little and many have no benefits, so they, themselves, need social worker support. - As an org it is more concerned with LOOKING good than BEING good. Not trustworthy.
