Vantaggi
DCLS hires some great people. Unfortunately, the good ones, including myself, end up leaving due to poor management decisions. I loved working in the library setting, helping people to educate and entertain themselves. My coworkers went above and beyond for patrons. Our department was a close-knit group and I enjoyed coming to work each day.
Svantaggi
Too many administrators making decisions without knowing what happens on the ground. Decisions from management usually meant changing a process that worked well for the employees and patrons and making it more complicated, frustrating everyone involved. Top-heavy management team makes exponentially more than actual librarians/PSAs. Job qualifications change according to whom management wants in the position. Eliminating full-time positions for long-time employees coming upon retirement. Nepotism is rampant.
