Pros

It’s a quiet environment, really nice to work at, especially the branches I got to work. I started volunteering, then got an internship and worked as library page then. Honestly this is more for people that are at College to get some extra cash, but also to network if you take advantage of it and do well, I got into IT by just being a page, always network.

Cons

I can’t think of any but if you in for the money in a library page position might not work out. You’ll need a second job or be too busy with college.

Pros

- Unparalleled work-life balance, especially for tech workers. - A very relaxed and friendly environment with no micromanagement. - Generous leave policies. - Most projects have very slow deadlines, so there’s no significant work pressure. - A laissez-faire work culture. - If you’re contemplating retirement, pursuing a master’s degree, or starting a side hustle, this is an excellent place to work.

Cons

- Compensation is significantly below market rate. - Toxic directors and senior leaders favor certain employees and encourage sycophancy. Sycophants are rewarded with benefits such as flexible work schedules and the ability to work remotely. - Promotion is contingent upon being a sycophant. - Directors and senior leaders often avoid the office altogether or have erratic schedules, such as arriving at 7 pm and leaving whenever they please, while simultaneously enforcing strict rules. - If you’re an ambitious individual seeking career growth, this is not the ideal place to be.
