Great Place to Work - Library Page Mount Prospect Public Library Employee Review

Great public sector position and great colleagues

Applicant process was a bit antiquated

-Overall community support for the library -Like most workplaces, many of the people that worked there were great

-Management ignored things like staff using organizational resources for personal use; there was a pattern of ignoring problems brought up by staff -Administration did non-inclusive things like repeatedly misstating the name of an employee of color even after being told the correct pronunciation -Employees of color and LGBTQ employees often left after a short duration -When questioned about salary discrepancies backed up by data and wanting to know what was going to be done about wage compression, administration response to employees was "Don't go there." -Departments couldn't effectively collaborate and treated each other like competition instead of working together to serve the same community
