Pros

Customers are usually respectful and kind. Atmosphere is clean, bright and pleasant. Plenty of time off. Ability to adjust work hours if needed.

Cons

The BCPL is less like your neighborhood library and more like a giant conglomerate of businesses. Librarians no longer plan children's programming and much of the other programs are an "out of the box" type. Librarians are required to stand at all times while on the reference desk. Independent thinking and creativity on the reference desk is discouraged. It's their way or no way!

Pros

The management team at my branch was skilled, empathetic, and collaborative

Cons

No cons really. My branch is across the street from a middle school, so teenagers are very much that Branch's bread and butter.
