Pros
- Immediate manager is great. - I've gotten the opportunity to learn skills. - Relaxed environment. - Good non-pay benefits.
Cons
- Pay is abysmal. Same job would pay double elsewhere. I've literally never seen my job title pay less anywhere else. Meanwhile the CEO rakes in a multimillion-dollar salary (non-profit company by the way). This was true pre-pandemic, but is way more obvious now. - The business decisions make no sense. - People resist any and all change, because failure is fine. Our customers can't afford to leave us, so we won't be punished by delivering garbage. - Don't fall for the long tenure stat they have. People stay a long time, it's true, but there are only so many careers for librarians that don't want to work in a library. People stay because there's nowhere else to go.
