-Some flexibility with work schedules
-Can have fun on the job
-PTO and benefits are fine; includes someeducational reimbursement
-Branches are small enough that you can get to know everyone and feel like a team
-Most patrons are fine; some are extra nice and make you feel good to do your job
Svantaggi
-Non-competitive pay for hourly
-Not much diversity in most branches
-Dealing with patrons can sometimes be complicated so you just have to be patient; management is generally pretty supportive though
-Some cities have a more noticeable unhoused population and the library system only has off-duty police officers rather than social workers to manage the issue
-Upper admin tends to stay for decades--hard to break into those positions
-No opportunity for advancement
-Management ignores staff critiques of poor supervisors
