Pros
The only pro about working for CZS is the mission and goals. I'd say that viewing and supporting the animals is sometimes, but you'll be too busy to truly enjoy.
Cons
You will experience disappointment everywhere. The top of the list of negatives is: 1. You will have to attempt to work with a large number of combative, disrespectful, self serving individuals. This is at ALL levels of the organization. 2. There is no forward movement. None in employment, none to employee resources, and none to facilities. 3. Leadership is mainly one of two categories: either they are highly resistant and actively deterring change, OR they are so frustrated by no change, no resources, no support, they will eagerly point fingers at anyone. 4. The hours you will spend on tasks that could take half or a third of the time because of outdated resources. Not to mention the extra frustration it gives then to your co-workers which then comes back on you. 5. No accountability, because of the issues in the environment. 6. Burnout. You want to stay, support the zoo and their mission because it's GREAT ONE. But it becomes too much and you'll sadly realize the toxicity at this place.
