Good place to work - Printing & Graphic Arts Specialist Sonoma County Library Employee Review

-Great balance of “let’s get it done” and “don’t kill yourself” -Place to learn and grow, and managers know this and are not intimidating at all

-Sometimes boring due to being a small location when there’s no pressing tasks to do. Better than constantly swamped though.

Some branches, like Healdsburg and Sebastopol, are great to work at. Really kind and friendly people and a great environment. Pay isn't terrible for the amount of work (depending on the branch). If you work at the right branches, you'll get to work at a single service desk, too. That means you'll be able to do reference work instead of just drudging all day.

Some branches treat Specialists like dirt. The library administration is pretty terrible too, being really noncommunicative, and they've harrassed people who reported workplace violations. The union is also a total joke and desperately needs new blood. The union falls over whenever management puts the pressure on, and they've bargained for a really terrible MOU that basically needs to be burned and rewritten.
