Pros

Very structured work with guidelines for most everything you do. Lots of branch-level and system-wide committees to break up the monotony. Supportive work environment.

Cons

Very low starting pay for professional positions. Very limited ability for promotion to higher level Librarian positions. A Librarian I can only promote to a Librarian II which is Head of Children's. and I really don't want to be a Children's Librarian.

Pros

Excellent benefits through the county and paid time off. There is plenty of creative freedom when doing library programming and currently there are generous and cool opportunities for professional growth and outreach.

Cons

Upper management can be slow to acknolwedge/act on issues and make any substantial changes. Many figures in supervisory positions across the library system display incompetency and lack leadership skills.
