Pros

The ACPL is honestly a great place to work. My branch coworkers never hesitated to help each other out or support one another. The branch manager and assistant manager were really kind and fair, cultivating a really welcoming and warm working environment. The CEO isn't Greta though, it's Susan Baier, and she's really committed to and supportive of her staff.

Cons

No cons, except how hard it is to leave!
