Librarian Reviews
What is it like working as a Librarian?
November 2018
Librarian:
Upper management is terrible and untrustworthy. They care much more about image than about the community and the people we served. Individual departments are ok, but culture as a whole is awful the director is the main cause of this. Benefits are okay, but don’t expect to get paid anything near what you are worth unless you are friends with the upper echelon. Oh, and anytime they do give you a raise they pat themselves on the back because you obviously didn’t earn it. The employees that do stay here are dedicated to public service and basically saints. Loved my coworkers and what we did, hated the company.

Have plenty of experience with various library cultures.
July 2016
It doesn't pay to stay.
Librarian:
Move jobs every 3-5 years while you're young, if you want to be adequately compensated. When my job became permanent at the University of Texas at Austin, I assumed excellent work and dedication would be rewarded. Instead my salary has stagnated, despite being professionally active and assuming more responsibilities annually.
