Good leadership and decent colleagues despite low pay - Recensione dipendente - Library Assistant III presso Birmingham Public Library

Great place to learn in the field

No cons at the present

Good coworkers, great benefits for full-time employees. Some branches are a great time to work at, others not so much.

Really really bad upper management. Lots of gossip and nepotism. Staff who has "upset" management are overlooked for positions, while brand new staff get promoted. Very antiquated systems of application and interviews. It feels more like a corporation than a library. I have only met the director once, long enough to say hello.
