Thankless Servitude to Spineless Bottomfeeders - Librarian Fort Bend County Libraries Employee Review

Pros

I get to do what I love.

Cons

They bury you in needless bureaucracy under inexperienced morons who fail their way upwards. No one is ever fired here, no matter how badly they screw something up. Those with honest and true determination to improve the lives of the patrons of the library system are routinely ignored and turned a deaf ear to. The only way to move upwards in the company is to kiss *** and don't speak up.

Pros

Flexible hours, good work/life balance, eclectic coworkers, fair management, relaxed atmosphere, retirement benefits, networking opportunities within county & community, paid training, learning opportunities, potential to move upwards, advise from coworkers to guide you through library school, opportunities to take on more responsibility (with tech, making your own displays, other small projects, program suggestions, etc.)

Cons

Flexible hours (schedule is not always fixed), no choice to enter retirement plan (7% per paycheck), mandatory unpaid 1hr lunch breaks for 8hr shifts, the rare but inevitable "problem" patrons, you have to do defensive driving once yearly as per the county, low pay (but decent pay for the low stress & small expectations of the role).
