Pros

Good benefits if you work enough hours some disconnect between higher up policy makers and each of the 88 library locations, very friendly staff at my location.

Cons

Part timers usually max at 20 hours a week and there is a union which you must be a part of and they negotiate benefits for ALL county departments so you may feel like everyone else is getting stuff and your department doesn't. Also there aren't promotions, you need to re-apply and re-interview and personally I feel they have a bias(you take a "test" which is an interview then get ranked in bands, they then call the bands until they find the "right" person which is usually someone they already knew and just call the people above them out of procedure. )

Pros

The pay and hours are super good. Very easy work, routine schedule, they celebrate your birthday, and an hour lunch

Cons

High school like drama between permanent employees and temps. Felt uncomfortable around male supervisors, everyone starts rumors about you or you hear rumors about anyone else
