Jefferson County Public Library Reviews

- Dead end job without meaningful opportunities for advancement, relevant training, or raises. - Even with recent unionization, wages for many long term employees are less than $20/hr with no realistic path forward to a living wage for this area. This is for college degreed employees. - Massive administrative bloat and waste - Expects employees to be constant social workers for patrons while employees are paid little and many have no benefits, so they, themselves, need social worker support. - As an org it is more concerned with LOOKING good than BEING good. Not trustworthy.

While I get the highest ratings on my annual reviews every year since working at JCPL, I still only get minimum wage salary. No merit increases. Shifts changes frequently because people leave. Leadership well paid but doesn't understand many of us have to work several jobs to make ends meet. It's hard to believe management when it says library staff are valued / appreciated.
