      Good place to work, was getting stifling when I left.

      Pros

      Pretty quiet, rarely any major problems.

      Cons

      Much faster pace than it looks, stressful when the backlog of books to return to the shelves gets large. Additionally, around the time I was leaving, a bunch of rules and regulations were instituted that not only caused the shelvers to dislike the management more, they actually caused the entire process to run slower and created more backlog.
