Narrative:
Once we landed and tried to slow down on the runway; we noticed the brakes were not working properly. The left brake did not work at all and the right was intermittent. We were able to come to a stop on the runway; but exiting the runway proved difficult. ATC had to have several planes go around as we figured out how to get off the runway. I was able to eventually exit the runway and called up our maintenance to come tow us.
