Business outlook
Pros
Pay is decent, most roles are in the union. Get to work with people who care. Get to help people and make a positive difference in patrons' lives. I genuinely respect and admire the people I work with on a daily basis
Cons
Workload is very excessive in Special Collections and it is mentally and physically exhausting. Constantly asked to do more than job description. Some branches are dangerous and have little security or janitorial support. Low staffing. Open 7 days a week.
