Pleasant but ultimately not fruitful - Library Assistant Volunteer Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System Employee Review

Pros

-- The paid employees/co-workers are friendly, are willing to greet you and get to know you more, and the staff is close-knit and cooperative --Whichever supervisor you are assigned to will give you plenty of busy work --Lunch breaks are generous --Georgia State University, big banks like Bank of America and Wachovia/Wells Fargo, and plenty of big franchises and small restaurants are within walking distance downtown; so you can bank, eat, and even shop a little during your lunch break

Cons

--Be wary of volunteering here: you may not count on getting a job from the experience gained here, for they might put you in the Archives to work like I was, and have you away from the patrons, and thus, never gain customer service experience that is needed for almost every library job in existence that doesn't require a degree --Volunteering offers no pay (of course!) --Have comfortable shoes to walk around with downtown, or you'll be sorry... --Supplies run out often for projects/work --Work may get tedious and dull

Pros

You get paid every two weeks. I had to work weekends every other week, and you get to work with children.

Cons

No flexibility with schedule, no advancing within career and it's very political.
