Pros

the staff at the location was amazing, we were all a team and it was great working with them

Cons

I worked for this company for over 2 years and never got a raise, just minimum wage. I was expected to do things that were the responsibility of librarians, who are required to have a masters degree, even though they were above my pay.

Pros

* Passable benefits for anyone who works 20+ hrs/wk (as long as you're not a Page aka LA1). * Halfway decent hourly rates (as long as you're not a Page aka LA1). * Stable work schedule (as long as you're not a Floater or Sub). * Some opportunities for upward mobility, if you go to school for it.

Cons

* LS&S does that weird cult-like "company culture" thing * Important decisions that affect people working the floor are made almost entirely by folks who haven't worked the floor in decades, if ever. * The tech lags behind so hard it sometimes caused more problems than it solved. * By the same token, the company has the tech set up so that every single program has different login criteria-- our older co-workers and patrons were constantly disadvantaged by this kind of thing. *Solving any kind of problem takes longer due to having to wait for LS&S to assess/approve. * Pages aka LA1s are exempt from benefits, not offered halfway decent wages, often not even given paid holidays off like the rest of us, and often offered 15 hours a week or fewer. They're also typically way overburdened: expected to pull the bookdrop, organize all that onto carts, rough shelve, fully shelve, and expected to set up and take down the meeting rooms. And then sometimes expected to do any other random tasks that pop up. Serious Cinderella vibes.
