Business Outlook

Pros

The company was always good to me personally, things move much faster than in a city and therefore the libraries are able to have new and exciting things. The libraries are beautiful and stocked with diverse collections.

Cons

In the end it all still boils down to dollars and cents, it is run like a business and that leads to a lack of qualified staff (i.e. empty reference desks/lack of MLIS librarians), many branches run without enough staffing, they underpay, and overwork the staff they have.
