Pros

Competent, knowledgeable, helpful and hardworking ship mates who tirelessly swab the decks.

Cons

At the helm of HMS LIE-BRARY, a public-funded, rudderless, ghost ship, is an incompetent pirate who has patches over both eyes. Captain BlighND makes those who might have a different point of view walk the plank or are thrown overboard in the middle of the night, in hopes that no one will notice. Current ship mates need to gather their life preservers and jump from the deck so they can swim safely ashore or hope a new employer rescue boat saves their life. New recruits need to avoid the temptation to come aboard and do whatever they can to avoid the command of Caption BlighND.

Pros

Nice colleagues, better than being unemployed while you look for a better position elsewhere.

Cons

- Dead end job without meaningful opportunities for advancement, relevant training, or raises. - Even with recent unionization, wages for many long term employees are less than $20/hr with no realistic path forward to a living wage for this area. This is for college degreed employees. - Massive administrative bloat and waste - Expects employees to be constant social workers for patrons while employees are paid little and many have no benefits, so they, themselves, need social worker support. - As an org it is more concerned with LOOKING good than BEING good. Not trustworthy.
