      Pros

      Union salary is good. Nothing else

      Cons

      Ineffective management. MIA management. No accountability for managers. Sad state for this former giant of good zoos. No $ to repair animal areas

      Better to be a guest than an employee

      Pros

      Animals (at least the ones that are still at the zoo)

      Cons

      Terrible executive “leadership” (bosses not leaders) SVP of HR protects management at any cost Long hours No support - staff cuts and no help Expect more with less resources Burn out is real The park looks rough - tearing out the landscaping to…save money by cutting staff, maybe? Executives get rewarded with compensation while the staff goes years to receive a 2% raise - check out the 990 public information records Robots over animals Diversity - what diversity - maybe hair color? The culture is one of fear - punishing people who voice their thoughts or opinions It should be the best place to work and instead it is extremely stressful and your career will be crushed by insecure bosses A giant disappointment like the creepy weird lounging metal gorilla that greets guests at the north gate
