Pros

The people you work with are the best part along with contributing to the important work that the org does.

Cons

Not great nonprofit pay. Wish the org was more transparent with staff about the state of the org. If you are in a member facing role the members can get aggravating.

Pros

95% of ALA staff are delightful to work with. The other 5% are working too hard to be delightful. Libraries fill real needs in communities so it's easy to get behind the mission.

Cons

95% of ALA members are delightful to work with. The other 5% are oddly power hungry and exhibitionist.

Low pay, members can be very demanding, not a lot of support.
