Pros
Some good colleagues trying their best
Cons
Hands down the worst library administration I’ve ever worked for. They’re openly antagonistic to faculty and staff and have no long-term plan for growing the library into one that can serve an R2 institution. I was misled during the interview process about the job I would be doing, what campus I would be doing it at, and why there was so much turnover (hint: it’s not just people retiring). My key card couldn’t access my office (or any other necessary space) for over a month – this slowness regarding literally everything seems to be the rule, not an exception. I was told on several occasions “that’s just the way we do things here” and yeah, weird flex. If you’re a librarian, you get one day of telework a week (but we weren’t allowed to call it teleworking because the new Chancellor didn’t like it – office hours instead) even if your job can be done fully remotely. The library did not close during the pandemic and many staff (and almost every student) no longer wear masks. The pay is lowest in the area and, though Cobb Co. might be considered “Metro Atlanta,” it feels like a different planet. Avoid if you can!
