Good job with flaws

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.

Pros

Libraries are continually evolving and as a librarian, it has been very satisfying working with a company that believes in developing library environments for sharing expertise, information, connecting, creating, collaboration, discovering, and enjoying.

Cons

There are lots of opportunities to work in different libraries around the US, but in order to work in a larger library system, it could involve relocation.

Pros

Honest, real people that love to serve each other and library patrons. Personal development (education) encouraged. Contributions recognized. Satisfaction. As library staff, we can excel personally without the omnipresent smothering hand of union pressure be the same and not stand out. Initiative is recognized and rewarded.

Cons

Challenging growth pains. Training is a little slow.
