Pros

decent pay for retail, nice environment in beautiful public space

Cons

manager never. respected scheduling requests, and hours would vary wildly from week to week. Wage-theft--unpaid time closing and opening--and very profit-driven retail department, despite non-profit, public institution veneer of library.

Everyone there is very kind and understanding. It was a great entry-level job!

Cons

Management sometimes wasn't as present as they maybe should've been, however, they still were very on it with schedules and payment!
