Pros

-Easy tasks like shelving and checking in books that don't require a lot of physical strength but keep you moving -Never gets too hectic -Patrons are usually nice and fun to help out -Easy tasks to get a hang of -Good pay for easy work -Co-workers are nice and friendly -Being able to browse books while you are on the job

Cons

-A lot of slow down time, for a 4hr shift, sometimes you will be sitting around doing nothing at all for 1-2 hrs -Despite the large amount of down time where there is nothing to do (no books to checkin or shelve, patrons to help), you are not allowed to read your own books, browse on the computers or use your phones, etc. at all -Very strict on protocols (dress code, phone usage, break times, proceedures to do things)

Pros

There aren’t many pros. Nice coworkers and decent management.

Cons

Pay. Pay is a joke. For part timers you get no work life balance. They give you a TINY bit of time off. It’s not a good work life balance. They also play favorites.
