Cliques and Politics - Branch Manager St. Louis County Library Employee Review

Pros

They are better off financially than a lot of libraries.

Cons

Expect to be relocated to other branches without warning on a regular basis. Cliques and politics run amuck at this authoritarian run library. The administrators are inexperienced and as a result have created a fear-based environment so that they are never questioned. The people who are too afraid to disagree are the ones who get promotions. This results in unqualified and uninspiring followers becoming leaders. They have a high turnover rate. It is not hard to find a better place to work when they have set the bar so low.
