Friendly and welcoming atmosphere - Part Time Volunteer Austin Public Library Employee Review

Employee Discounts, $5 health insurance to 30+hour employees, lots of opportunity for continuing education, free employee health program with vacation incentives, excellent selection of circulating materials

Depending on location, customer facing positions have to deal with large numbers of mental health consumers, and don't always take advantage of special training to do so. Employees are still subject to paper timekeeping and rarely advance without a Library degree

The City offers decent health insurance and benefits. There are a lot of opportunities for growth You can qualify for bonuses after 5 years, student loan forgiveness, and tuition reimbursement for up to $2,000

The library has a highly political atmosphere and a Good ol' boy system of hiring It's HR undermines it's employees and reinforces a retaliatory environment The base pay are not livable
