Great place to work - Library Assistant Athens Regional Library System Employee Review

-flexible hours -friendly staff -communicative coworkers -good management -opportunities for other library systems -working with the community

-pay rate -not likely to move up without degree

Great people, fun environment. Amazing programming, lovely patrons.

Many years have no raises because labor is poorly funded. No benefits. No advancement opportunities. No hope to move to full times or get benefits as there are NO full time positions for this job. Lower pay than many poorer county library jobs nearby-which is why turnover is often high. Far less pay than other in county professional jobs. Your job on day one is your exact job forever—there are no levels to work up to. No lateral moves. Forever understaffed and overworked and behind on shelving due to understaffing.
