Pros

I like the people and what I do. I like knowing that something I do gets to touch literally millions of lives.

Cons

The pay is minimum wage, the union is useless, there needs to be a full overhaul for jobs titles and salaries.

Pros

Since I started working for NYPL a month ago, I have learned how to push myself out of my comfort zone. The on-boarding process was easy and the staff members at George Bruce library were very welcoming and informational. Additionally, NYPL has various opportunities to grow within the system.

Cons

Some of the patrons can be unmannerly and not abided by the library's policies on wearing their mask while they are in the library.
