      Storming

      Pros

      I think BCPL is in the storming phase right now, as they got a new director in August after 17 years under the last director. There is a lot of hope and anticipation in the system, and I think we're all excited to get a new start.

      Cons

      The County administration just took over our IT department and our Maintenance department, and this is a major change that hasn't been completely worked out. Things are not running smoothly in those departments yet, but things are improving as time goes on.

      Pros

      Good benefits, cool DEI initiatives, annual raises, excellent coworkers (most of the time)

      Cons

      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.
