An Honest Review

Library associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunity to try new and creative programs, interact with the public, reader advisory, and develop great tech and interpersonal skills. Best part was working under a good branch manager and having great coworkers.

Cons

Salary increases are slow and problematic employees remain employed while difficult visitors have a lot of leeway. Each branch had a distinctive feel, which meant some were vastly more fun to work for than others.
