Pros

you can get experience here

Cons

if you do not network you will not be promoted. Shelter working is mandatory. If you must, bring your family to the shelter. Encouraged to take work home. Ageism abounds. Older than 35 need not apply. people with disabilities need not apply. People of color need not apply as they rarely get promoted. Males will be promoted first.

Pros

Public Service staff committed to aiding the public.

Cons

"Anonymous posts and Fear of retribution are all signs of a toxic culture that permeates the system. And we wonder why there is a mass exodus of talented staff that are retiring and leaving the Library". (Attribution: Repost of Anonymous Internal Post) Concur with this post.

Pros

Some of the people make the job. But most upgrades are limited and you will do duties outside your designation

Cons

Hurricane shelter duty. Management is self serving.
