Interview for the Circulation Desk - Circulation Desk Attendant Georgia Public Library Service Employee Review

Working with such wonderful people and materials, doing what I love - helping others and organizing - make this job a pleasure to show up for!

Unfortunately, the pay and lack of benefits make it impossible to survive on this position alone. There really is no other negative aspect to working for this establishment.

It's been amazing working with the Georgia Public Library Service. The agency is lean and returns over 80% of its funding back to Georgia's library community. Programs are designed to leverage efficiencies of scale. The job allows for a good work/life balance. You will definitely work hard, deal with a variety of politics, and need to be flexible with shifting priorities, but leadership is supportive. Technically, you are an employee of the university system so you also can receive tuition assistance.

The agency itself is small, fewer than 50 people, so promotional opportunities within the agency are limited.
