Pros
Do you know of the alphabet? Congratulations, you are qualified for this position. Highest paying job for someone starting young. They start hiring at 16 y/o. You start at $8.50, get 4x $0.20 raises every 6 months for a maximum of 2 years. Lots of variety in flexible shifts. 9a-5p, 1p-9p, 9a-1p, 1p-5p, 5p-9p, 3p-7p, 2p-6p, et al
Cons
Nepotism. Myself and plenty others who may have worked for 4+ years were turned down for promotions in lieu of those who had been there for 1 but had connections. Library has FT employees who have been working there for 25+ years and does not even consider hiring a new FT employee until each one retires. This maximum hours any part time employee can work is 17.5. You will not get promoted.
