Pros

I had a job is about all I can say.

Cons

Very few departments are structured to allow employees to advance and grow. HR is not progressive or innovative. Boredom was the biggest challenge. Be aware that the city opted out of paying into social security so you will be subject to the windfall elimination provision which will impact your financial future as you will not be eligible for your full benefit amount. The union reps are useless and never negotiated a decent wage especially for the lowest paid employees.

Pros

Many frontline staff truly care about the community and work hard to provide excellent service. Working directly with patrons—especially children and families—can be very rewarding. Some coworkers are incredibly dedicated and supportive.

Cons

Unfortunately, the overall work environment is challenging. Staff are consistently overworked and underappreciated, and expectations often shift without warning. Processes, priorities, and procedures change so frequently that there is little opportunity to feel mastery or stability in any role. Upper management struggles with communication, transparency, and consistency. Decisions are often made without staff input or clear explanation, and training opportunities are minimal to nonexistent. Part-time staff in particular are treated as inferior and disposable, which contributes to low morale. There is a pervasive “you’re lucky to be here because others want your job” attitude that discourages collaboration, professional growth, and psychological safety.
