Pros

There are still some very hardworking and talented employees here, although they are heading for the hills because of the destruction of this wonderful institution by incompetent leaders. The historical accomplishments are something to be very proud of, yet the future for the library is bleak.

Cons

A terrible place to work with appalling leadership who do not care about employees. Trust is at an all time low and workplace stress is off the charts. This is a culture of intimidation and unfairness where employees are persecuted for having innovative ideas. Executive director took a massive pay increase, gave her directors huge bonuses, then refused to give market increases to frontline staff. Staff engagement survey results were hidden from staff and the trustees because they made leadership look bad.

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.
