Brookfield Zoo Chicago Response

Your comment about promotional opportunities being non-existent is incorrect. In 2017 alone year to date, we have promoted over 60 employees including both seasonal employees and full-time workers. This includes job enlargements, where employees assume additional responsibilities, as well as employees moving into completely new higher-level roles. We very much promote internal mobility and advancement and have a comprehensive training program, called CZS University, which is available to all employees, free of charge, This includes both required and elective training. We also have lateral moves and other opportunities for development to provide employees with additional skills and experience that help qualify them for advancement.
