If you want to be a librarian, don't work here - Librarian Indianapolis Public Library Employee Review

Pros

Patrons appreciate us, and sometimes we get to go to cool meetings or conferences. The fellow staff members are usually nice, but anyone in management can't be trusted.

Cons

All decisions made at higher levels. Librarians can't make decisions about the collections in their own branch, or how to organize their own branch. We can't even make decisions on what to discard! Programing has to be justified too much. The "occurrence" thing alone is a reason not to work here. Oh, and if you disagree with management, you are labeled "afraid of change" or "old" or "stuck in your ways". I am none of those, yet I think they are WRONG.
