Pros

We truly have a good mission. Its what keeps me here. Many people here have the same feeling. We all love what libraries do for communities and mankind.

Cons

I love the mission, but something’s rotten at here. The CEO of this non-profit makes almost $2 million a year. The rest of the EMT makes almost $500k.. It makes no sense when we aren’t growing market share or releasing significant new products. The executive leadership is embarrassing . The CFO has lost four managers in the past 6 months and he’s a micromanaging tyrant bully. Doesn’t trust anyone and everyone avoids him. The ivy league MBA CIO has done nothing. He can’t keep the systems running and four of his executive directors have left in the past year. He can’t deliver a project that isn’t millions over budget and years late. He’s also the head of the DEI initiative. A middle aged white male. Nice. He’s so interested in DEI, his last three Executive Director hires were, get this, middle aged white males. And the five star reviews on here are all written by the HR department. As soon as a negative one comes out, the click farms spin up and they write a bunch of positive reviews. Skippy can’t have his precious ego bruised. Truly authentic and transparent. Not quite. I’m sorry library community, you deserve better. We're here for you not the lackluster management.
