Saskatoon Public Library Careers and Employment

Arrogant management, expects you to check emails even outside of your work hours, too many unnecessary managerial ladders to get through for planned leaves to get approved.

Toxic leadership

Leadership is toxic, reactionary, thrives off of pitting people off each other, no planning or thoughtfulness, no cohesive vision, fiscally wasteful and employees are not valued - never asked to participate in decision making and never asked for their point of view. The values professed are just lip service.

Great place to work

I really enjoy the work environment and atmosphere. My manager is supportive and always available to help when needed. The work-life balance is also great perk!

I enjoyed most of my career with the Saskatoon Public Library

I enjoyed my work for most of my career with Saskatoon Public Library. I did collection maintenance, programming with children of all ages and serving the public who visited the library. There were many changes with the structure and operations of the library system and our jobs in the last couple of years

Directors are elitist, matriarchal, and diversity is just a lip service...

I've worked here for several months as a contract employee. I was paid alot lower than my full-time permanent counterpart with the exact job description, which is very demoralizing. I tried my best to meet the expectations and I think I did a good job during my stay because I turned out training (as per request of my manager) my full-time permanent counterpart whose skills are to whine and chat alot that's why she can't accomplish anything, destroy people's reputation, and brag about her connections to intimidate people. If you don't know politics and you are an employee who just work with integrity, you will not succeed in this organization. Employee suggestions are not respected as much, you will not grow and end up leaving with low morale. The Human Resources requires alot of fixing, they are still very much administrative and have not reached the business partner level. Considering the pay of the HR Consultants @87K per year, their skills are an insult to the tax payers. Their skills can be accomplished by an Administrator or Coordinator and will save the government money. Payroll sucks, they have violated several employment standards during my stay with their lack of standard processes. The Directors are very much detached, they feel superior. Employee relations and work processes in SPL needs to improve.
