Pros
It's not a difficult job by any means, but it becomes as challenging as you want it to be depending on how much responsibility you want to take on. There's room for growth, and hard work can go a long way.
Cons
Branch managers and district managers can be very cliquey. This is a library system that presents itself like a utopia of understanding but runs like a cold, sterile corporation. NYPL claims to have its employees' best interest at heart, but then remains completely rigid in cases where human decency could and should take precedence over unnecessarily stringent policies.
