Pros

Most staff are there because they believe in what libraries can do for community. If you have a lot of empathy, compassion, patience and capacity for above and beyond customer service this career would be a good fit.

Cons

Often there is disconnect in communication between management and union workers. Burnout is very real in working with community that is in need-- the organization sometimes puts the needs of community over the needs of employees even though they are often one and the same.
