Friendly Workplace - Library Assistant Athens Regional Library System Employee Review

The management and your coworkers are the best, and many in the community really are supportive and kind

Some extremists in the political hate groups like attacking the library and can be really nasty to staff

Great people, fun environment. Amazing programming, lovely patrons.

Many years have no raises because labor is poorly funded. No benefits. No advancement opportunities. No hope to move to full times or get benefits as there are NO full time positions for this job. Lower pay than many poorer county library jobs nearby-which is why turnover is often high. Far less pay than other in county professional jobs. Your job on day one is your exact job forever—there are no levels to work up to. No lateral moves. Forever understaffed and overworked and behind on shelving due to understaffing.
