Pros
Good salary and benefits, that's it.
Cons
I have 15 years of successful experience as a librarian in both public and corporate settings. This job was an utter failure on so many levels. They falsely described the nature of the job in my interviews and falsely led me to believe that they would give me up to six months to acclimate to the job. Instead, they heaped unreal expectations on me to perform at some unreasonable level of performance only weeks into the position. I was even coming in early every day (working overtime) in order to get up to speed; this was not good enough. After one month with zero warning (sideblinded): I was dismissed from the job with a severance payment. They were exceptionally vague about the reasons why I was being let go. I have never in my life experienced anything as strange as working for AFSCME. They refer to each other as brothers and sisters: very cultish! I've worked in a wide variety of jobs and this is hands down one of the worst jobs I've ever had in my life. Beware!
