Baltimore County Public Library reviews

Little understanding, consideration, or support from upper management. They created over a dozen new positions in the past 2 years that all make over $100,000 per year. Now they've put a hold on hiring and intend to downsize staff in the branches because they have like 2 million dollars less for payroll with all the new and unnecessary positions they've created. The administrative personnel feel superior to everyone else and do not value or respect staff at the branch level. Branch staff are obviously considered beneath the royalty in admin.

Upper management/administration is super out of touch with frontline staff and their needs, really low staffing across branches but still hiring a bunch of random HR positions, budget mainly goes to buying like hundreds of copies of Patterson or Roberts books that get tossed in a month or two but then staff have to work with small programming budgets.
