Pros

The health benefits are good if you need them.

Cons

Zero flexibility in the youth department. Poor management the are ok with employees being yelled at and gaslit. Zero cultural competency and the EDI work is not happening. Manager plays favorites. Morale is very low and got worse in the short time I was there.

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
