Good when you need one

Business Outlook

Pros

The job is really easy, no hard work and you can understand everything easily.

Cons

Management moves you to different locations in your district. You don't have have choice of hours that often. When you asked for a day off they "think about it". Usually you don't get it because they don't care. Since you're in a library with nothing other then organization there is staff drama. Older vetted employees treat the young ones with no respect. This company will take over local libraries and lower pay of all the members to pay themselves more. Min wage, No benefits, no time off, and during the Covid19 epidemic they did not shut down the library until forced by the state.

They Run Libraries Like a Corporation and Don't Care About Their Employees

Business Outlook

Pros

none that I can think of

Cons

As a Library Asst you will work your butt off making programs for children, helping in all aspects of the library (front desk, shelving, helping with computers, assisting patrons, etc)- but get paid minimum wage and are treated like your thoughts and opinions don't matter by management. There is a LOT of drama between fellow Library employees, and management facilitates it by allowing the bullies to thrive and take whatever jobs they want from others. They allow patrons to make racist/sexist remarks, stalk you and yell at you at the counter and do nothing about it even after repeated reporting. They run their libraries like a Corporation that doesn't value their employees. It is very hard to move up unless you kiss butt to the horrible management.

Things were much better when the county ran the library.

Pros

The branches work in unison, they aren't as divided as before.

Cons

They love to have several part time positions instead of full-time so you can't get benefits. The pay is very low compared to when the county ran it.
