      Pros

      Excellent front line co-workers from a range of ages and backgrounds, great line manager, dealing with a wide range of people in a public facing role (very personally rewarding), provides a great range of services (from schools outreach and baby oriented play & song to fiction reading groups & community meetings, authors talks etc) to the people of Glasgow.

      Cons

      Remote, distant upper management, random bureaucracy and inefficiency/waste related to that, flexible working (ok up to a point) but also expected to move libraries to cover shifts at short notice, overall poor pay. Occasionally having to deal with a range of antisocial behaviour - from minor to major (i.e violence against staff). There is also a tendency to "managerialize" good library workers by offering progression which seems to seek to turn said workers into, essentially, data and admin processors - to little good effect.

      Pros

      Average pay and good conditions. Felt appreciated and like my hard work went noticed. Worked with some great people, really friendly atmosphere.

      Cons

      No chance of progression unless you're related to or good friends with current management.
