Pros

I had heard many negative things about this company before I worked for them, but none were true. I received good pay, ok benefits, and in the end was fairly happy with the culture and work.

Cons

After the departure of the original founders it was hard to know who was in charge and where we were headed. There was no good way to report issues with management.

Business Outlook

Pros

Solid benefits with current deductible (currently $2000) covered by company. Great team at my location.

Cons

No room for advancement. Pay rate is below industry standard. Company has no feedback process and no feeling of HR advocacy. Policies and procedures are not clearly defined. Opportunity for staff training is one day a year and peer-taught. Workload steadily increases as library usage increases, yet no investment is made to help staff assist customers better/more efficiently. Patron usability comes secondary to back-end processes.
