Pros

The people at this library are amazing. Everybody is interesting and passionate about what they do. The work is enjoyable, rewarding, and fun for the most part. Management is generally very supportive of staff.

Cons

The pay, even for PSA roles, is low in comparison to the cost of living in the area and the wages at neighboring libraries. There are also very few opportunities for full-time advancement, and almost none beyond the PSA level.

Pros

Steady work, usually quiet, with constant access to library materials. WCLS does provide opportunities to learn professional skills, which can help you on your career path.

Cons

Don't waste your time if you want to move up the career ladder. - Off If you aren't popular, forget about it. If you aren't planning on staying and are there for just a temporary after-school job, then it's a great way to pay the bills temporarily.

Pros

i like my coworkers and the freedom of my job. i know exactly what is expected of me and the day to day tasks are almost always the same: check in books, sort them and place them onto shelves and occasionally, do training or inventory.

Cons

it can get boring, doing the same things over and over again. also while i can always try talking to my manager, my schedule isnt very flexible.
