Pros

Your in branch colleagues are amazing for the most part

Cons

It's a physical job. The higher ups micromanage everything and there is no autonomy. You're treated like a child. It's impossible to be heard and if you are, it because you're in trouble. They don't want to make changes that benefit anyone but management. There is no budget for proper staffing because management make outrageous amounts for micromanaging. Don't get me wrong, they're busy but it's because they need to approve everything.

Pros

contributing to the community is fun and I discover so much new content,

Cons

- patron service can feel more like social work sometimes than library service for someone who signed up for library work. there is a bigger need for conflict resolution skills than expected - don't hear back from hiring team for a while making it hard to accommodate near-future planning
