Pros

Working in a friendly environment Friendly and cooperating co-workers Manageable hours, work only in the afternoon so you're free in the mornings

Cons

Work for only 3.45 hours, so pay is very low Part-time, only 30 hours every two weeks No upward mobility; you stay a tutor with no increase pay Supervisor left and there was not a replacement, so we had to do everything our supervisor would have done if we had one for almost six months

Pros

Good part time job while you’re in high school. Now you get sick days which is good.

Cons

Everyone is staying which means you can not move up. Selfish Managers and Supervisors who always want you to adjust your school schedule because they need you in the afternoon.

Pros

Good pay, Great medical benifits

Cons

I was fired for lies after being attacked outside branch after work outside branch by an "employee". I put employee in quotes because he was not a NYPL employee he was a guard and his who helped lied was another guard who wasn't there. (last year at employer is not correct was not able to put earlier date)
