Good environment with friendly people - Avis employé Technology Assistant Novi Public Library

Very organized group of people

None that I can think of

Wonderful coworkers who are helpful and are team players. Everyone works hard and has the patrons best interests at heart. Beautiful, new library building in which to work. Close to major expressways. Library valued by community.

Very few full-time opportunities especially for professional librarians. Most part-time librarians only work 18 hours so management doesn't have to pay them sick or vacation time. Starting pay for circulation staff is lower than at libraries of the same class so turnover is very high. Managers end up spending too much time hiring and training staff over and over. Patrons are given more consideration than staff. Director known to mete out harsh punishment for simple errors. HR practices are not consistent.
