Pros

Good health insurance Liked most of my coworkers

Cons

Administration is more concerned with looking good politically than supporting their employees. Also you should know, because it probably will not be disclosed during your interview, that it is mandatory for library employees to work as first responders at the hurricane shelters. You do not received training or additional pay for this duty but you will be suspended without pay if you do not report. So keep in mind that if there is a hurricane you will be separated from your family. There are also no raises at the library.

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.
