Pros

I loved working for the Kent District Library Wyoming Branch. I will miss all of my awesome talented co-workers, and the resources that KDL has for its employees. It was a great organization to work for and would recommend it to anyone interested in working in a fast-paced library system.

Cons

You have to like working in a large fast paced system. This wasn't a con for me, but can be for some.

Pros

Supportive work environment between coworkers, great patrons, ability to explore niches, excellent 2-SLGBTQ+ environment

Cons

Getting supplies and approval for new programs requires too many hurdles. One person objecting to something often overrides many who do like an idea and is often based on personal feelings about the person - not on the idea presented. Union support is not as strong as it should be. Very little room for growth as they hire outside for upper levels more than from promotion from within.
