The Seventh Circle of Hell - Librarian Library of Congress Employee Review

Pros

Largest collection in the world; prestige of working at LC; good benefits and salary

Cons

will be assigned to do more and more work as people retire with no hope of relief; some employees and managers are senile, forgetting names and sleeping at meetings; rules about telework, leave, etc. are not enforce equally; you may think you can outlast incompetent managers because you are so much younger than them, but you won't--they will only leave feet first

Pros

Great staff who truly care about the mission and their area of expertise. Great work/life balance and thoughtful leadership.

Cons

If you seek a fast-paced environment, this is not that. Additionally there are unknowns with the current structure - it may change.
