You really do get to meet incredible people working in a public library. Most of the time work feels meaningful.
Cons
RCLS is owned (?) by a third party, LSSI and they are running us into the ground. There's no consideration for individual branches and branch issues. They're cutting people like crazy (managers and employees) and making some manage two branches instead of one manager per branch and as you can imagine it hurts its employees.
The people I work with at the branch level are great.
Cons
No raises. This is the sort of company that keeps your hours at 19 instead of giving you that one extra hour that will force them to pay you holiday and sick time.
