Great place to have a "fake email job", bad place to grow your career. - Associate Applications Developer II New York Public Library Employee Review

The Library is dynamic and interesting. There are many intelligent, dedicated people working there. I learned a lot and got to work on some cool stuff.

it could benefit from more project management.

Very nonstressful, librarians are always willing to chat and help, will have tasks that differ based on which branch you work at. I work in a research division and this will often include tasks like sorting books, cataloguing material, setting up apointments. I have a manager that is very flexible about hours and when I could come in, as well as time off -- as this is a position only for students that makes sense, you could work shifts as small as 3 hours throughout the week before cap at 19 hours. You also get a staff discount at the NYPl shop for 10-30% off, and access to NYPL events and staff events.

Very repetitive, will often leave you time where you are just waiting at a desk or standing around for a task or for a patron that might need assistance. Lunchs are not paid, and the expected amount of hours is 19 with more time having to be requested to your manager.
