A truly unfortunate situation - Librarian Worcester Public Library Employee Review

supportive thoughtful coworkers some room for advancement working with library patrons can be a fun job

really none that I can think of

Good salary, holidays off, fun events for staff

Admin doesn’t care about staff safety, too many librarians who want to read all day and spend time in their little cliques whispering about other staff members yet they’re the ones constantly getting spoken to about their terrible behavior and shouldn’t be working here. Admin is not transparent. They change things constantly, push you beyond your limits, and glorify job stress equating it with a job well done- wrong, they are making staff have mental health issues. The directors and deputy directors are completely aware of how awful things are here but they collect their six figure salaries, work from home and don’t have to work weekends. They do nothing to support staff. Admin does whatever they want and don’t do any work- they’re in “meetings” all day. Middle management is basically worthless bc they are a group of severely burnt out people because Admin refuses to support them and makes them play back up security with the custodians!
