Pros

Good benefits Amazing co-workers that become friends quickly Meaningful work

Cons

Workload is put of control No raises, not even even cost of living, since 2018 Senior management is relatively put of touch. Many believe that they can take their time because the prestige of working for the zoo outweighs salary and balance No diversity. Almost all full time staff are white You won’t be moving from your position unless you quit. Then they magically find money to try and keep you without fixing the problems that led to you wanting to leave.
