Unsupportive Management - Library Assistant Riverside County Law Library Employee Review

Opportunities to learn and take on responsibility Great health insurance Supportive immediate supervisor

Start you off at the bottom of the salary range regardless of experience Management does not value employee retention Management expects staff to create and spearhead projects on top of full work load Very short staffed so it is difficult to complete tasks and help patrons with research

My immediate supervisor/head librarian was great. She was really supportive of your schedule and your overall well being. I enjoyed learning about legal materials and helping others do meaningful research.

The job pays near minimum wage if you have a Bachelors, Masters in Library Science or J.D. At the same time, you also act as a security guard for all the transients who come in to avoid the heat/cold. Management never seems to care about improving the library so there is a high turn over because eventually, people get tired of being ignored so they quit.
