Austin Public Library - Administrative Assistant Austin Public Library Employee Review

Employee Discounts, $5 health insurance to 30+hour employees, lots of opportunity for continuing education, free employee health program with vacation incentives, excellent selection of circulating materials

Depending on location, customer facing positions have to deal with large numbers of mental health consumers, and don't always take advantage of special training to do so. Employees are still subject to paper timekeeping and rarely advance without a Library degree

Pay is decent, work flow can be good but depends on which branch you are at, some are busier than others

Change is slow. If something is wrong with a policy/co-worker things can be slow moving to get it fixed
