Pros

-Overall community support for the library -Like most workplaces, many of the people that worked there were great

Cons

-Management ignored things like staff using organizational resources for personal use; there was a pattern of ignoring problems brought up by staff -Administration did non-inclusive things like repeatedly misstating the name of an employee of color even after being told the correct pronunciation -Employees of color and LGBTQ employees often left after a short duration -When questioned about salary discrepancies backed up by data and wanting to know what was going to be done about wage compression, administration response to employees was "Don't go there." -Departments couldn't effectively collaborate and treated each other like competition instead of working together to serve the same community

Pros

It was an easy job where you had to shelve books and maintain the collection. The reason for leaving was relocation. They provide good benefits as well. This is a terrific job for high schoolers and those just out of college.

Cons

There really are not any downsides. The library is in a great area. The people are civil and helpful. The job does not require a great deal, so there really is no downside.
