      Business outlook

      Pros

      Very good benefits at low cost, no cost plans available for part-time staff. Great coworkers and most of the branch managers are great. The higher up you go, the less that’s true. Good sick time and lots of opportunity to take leave. Strong union. You can make up whatever you want about a manager and they’ll get disciplined or canned with no investigation.

      Cons

      Working weekends and evenings - unless you have a remote job than you can work whatever schedule you want to almost and are not available when location staff need you. Opens beautiful new libraries without enough staff to fill the shifts. HUGE mental health and security concerns at locations - which leads to mental health issues for staff and then we go out on leave all the time because it’s so intolerable.Staff are physically assaulted. Verbal abuse from patrons is awful and include death threats/ Hiring practices are corrupt and unchecked.
