Pros

I gained a lot of work experience early in my career. My department was a pleasure to work with. Time off was generous and flexible.

Cons

During my 5 year employment at OCL I have never seen a raise (not even cost of living), meanwhile administration gave themselves large increases last year. The disproportion of power and salary is discouraging. No relevant training or workshops for my department. Morale is very low and the villagers are restless. Communication is never clear between departments. The system cares about saving face and doesn’t address the needs and concerns of its staff. There is no room for growth at OCL. Many positions are low pay and dead end.

It's definitely not what it used to be.

Pros

The support staff are basically nice people who work hard for little pay.

Cons

An administration that is out of touch with reality. Very high turnover. Not even a cost of living increase in salary (there's no money in the budget) yet admin gave themselves huge increases. Very low morale.

Pros

Resources are by far excellent. The people, librarians and patrons, were talented and exciting to work with. They understood what the job entailed. Change was easily embraced.

Cons

When I worked with Susan Quinn years ago, I was surprised that people in the library did not run through the hallways crying. She is the reason why the offices and librarian staff do not work efficiently. Passive aggressive and ignores the larger picture, she is the reason why it is going down hill. Leadership needs to sit down and take a moment to understand what the patrons need and want.
