Pros

There are some AMAZING people here. I am proud of the work we do, and am passionate about the mission. I love seeing animals, and even more than that, getting to share what I know with our guests. There's a passionate group of people trying hard to make it a good, supportive culture and I appreciate them so much. I think the heart of the Zoo is in the right place.

Cons

Culture - Despite the efforts mentioned above -- this place is a nightmare. If you are being bullied, if you're a victim of hostile work environments -- keep quiet. Talking about it will only get YOU in trouble. HR protects the executive leadership, the executives protect the toxic directors, and can inflict punishment on the younger staff.

Pros

Obviously, getting to see the animals everyday. Great coworkers. The work environment is the best I’ve ever had. They aren’t shy about being inclusive.

Cons

Hard to keep moving up in the company. After a certain point it seems they are more interested in outside hires.
