Wonderful, passionate co-workers, terrible pay - Library Assistant Union County Public Library Employee Review

The library staff is dedicated and knowledgeable, and the customer service is exemplary. The work environment is supportive, and co-workers are always helpful. The library offers a wide range of programs and resources for the community.

Sometimes the schedule seems difficult, with evenings and week-ends, however this is clearly stated and understood when accepting a job here.

Some of my colleagues were great to work with, and there are a few talented individuals on the team. The office environment itself has some opportunities for learning new skills internally.

Senior leadership is vindictive and often demonstrates attributional bias, which creates a toxic atmosphere. Frequent turnover is a direct result of the constant stress and scapegoating of employees. If you made a mistake the managers would not support you. I found there was little to no support for new ideas or projects, making it difficult to feel motivated or valued.
