Pros

You get the chance to work on really interesting projects. Many of the staff persons are excellent, mission-driven, inspiring people. The larger locations are beautiful spaces to work in. There is opportunity to be really involved in the community. Very supportive of travel and professional development.

Cons

Messed up priorities - too many vanity projects and not enough attention paid to basic library services. Constantly re-organizing, weak HR, no staff training, constantly strapped for funding.
