Pros

Always able to help our guests. I, personally, loved putting and getting the books. It get easier and easier as time goes by. You meet a lot of good people and make great co-workers.

Cons

Limited on helping people. If they want help, you have to say "Let me go get a staff." Sometimes they would fight you for not helping them yourselves.

Pros

Nice colleagues, better than being unemployed while you look for a better position elsewhere.

Cons

- Dead end job without meaningful opportunities for advancement, relevant training, or raises. - Even with recent unionization, wages for many long term employees are less than $20/hr with no realistic path forward to a living wage for this area. This is for college degreed employees. - Massive administrative bloat and waste - Expects employees to be constant social workers for patrons while employees are paid little and many have no benefits, so they, themselves, need social worker support. - As an org it is more concerned with LOOKING good than BEING good. Not trustworthy.
