Pros

Our member libraries are usually great.

Cons

Completely out of touch with the wants and needs of the staff. HR policy changes left and right, with no warning, and HR handbooks aren’t posted anywhere for staff to access readily. The hybrid work environment is terrible- everyone wants to simply do their job where they are comfortable (at home) while the leadership demands that everyone be in the office more to “collaborate” even though that means sitting alone at your desk for 9 hours. They’ve now started tracking swipe-ins to monitor who is coming to the office and punish those who aren’t. We deliver record profits for our millionaire leadership and then are punished for it. My team’s morale is in the gutter, everyone is simply tired. Pay is lackluster. And the cherry on top is all of the public health code violations the cafeteria has.

Pros

The benefits, particularly the thrift plan, are good for as long as they still exist. The employees are generally smart and caring people.

Cons

Upper management is neither good nor trustworthy. To go into details would most likely violate this website's TOS. Trust them not to tell you the truth, trust them to blame you if they can save themselves for another year. Any stories you've heard about a great place to work are based on old data. That company no longer exists. While layoffs have always been a threat, employees are constantly on edge now and having the CEO tell them if they want to stay on they shouldn't make trouble does not help, to say the least If you get hired here, understand that this cannot be a long term destination. Get your experience, have an exit plan, don't get comfortable and fade into mediocrity because that is your future, and that's if you are lucky. I just want to add that everything the other reviews say about the president is true. He absolutely did mock employee responses to an opinion survey at a town hall.
