Decent but Poor Pay
|
|
Good insurance, you always know your schedule.
|
Little or no pay increase, hard to move up the ladder, politics.

Great place to work due to the library purpose, the library services and the benefits
|
|
Great working environment - they care about the people. Great benefits and one of the only places left that offers a pension as well as 401K.
|
The pay is somewhat below par for some of the professional positions.

Great benefits, great cause
|
|
Free library card on top of already-amazing benefits. Also offers tuition reimbursement. Plus, you get to work for an amazing cause!
|
If you don't have a library degree, people don't view you as highly and it's harder to move up (even in other fields).

Some of the people are nice, the job has quite a bit of variety. As a CSS you assist patrons with self-checkout, paying fines, getting a new card, answering general questions, unloading materials that come from the delivery truck from other libraries and preparing returned items for checking out. As a Sub, you can select your shifts from alternate libraries within the system.
|
You are limited to only working a set amount of hours per year. You cannot go over this. It averages out to about 30 per week if you want to work all year. There is a different environment at each library, particularly with staff. As a Sub CSS, you have to follow a different set of rules than the employees assigned to each library. If you see the employees at a library doing something like making a personal call off break during a slow period do not assume that these rules apply to you. It also doesn't matter if you ask permission and receive it, you WILL get in trouble later. Most of the employees are women and, unfortunately, there is a bit of back-biting and patronizing behavior, particularly at certain branches. Employees at branches will ALWAYS have preference over you. If they are rude to you and then turn around and say you were rude to them they will be taken at their word. You will not. It will be a lot of wringing of the hands and "Oh, perhaps you took it the wrong way" when you bring it up with a supervisor. (I'm trying to be objective here.)

The Sub CSS's that work for the library system are just as important as your employees that are assigned to each library. They work hard and deserve fair treatment. Treating Sub CSS's unfairly based on their position within the company is discriminatory by the way, which I find amusing since the biggest thing you promote is diversity.

Great place to work, because all coworkers are professional and very helpful.
|
It is a very fast paced environment at times. Then there are times when it is slower, but there is always something to do.

Good but could be better
|
|
The staff is passionate about what they do, lots of people very engaged. It's also well-funded for a library with the funding attached to more stable property taxes.
|
Communication between senior management and the branches is lacking. They aren't aware of the situation at the ground level and create rules/mandates that get in the way. It's also under staffed for the size and circulation of the system. Very busy, lots to do and the loads keep increasing.
Hard to get ideas up to the top and make them happen, lagging behind in some innovative things being done in other places.

Hire more paraprofessionals to alleviate the burden on the library staff and keep up with circulation, and think and listen to people before you create new mandates and rules.
