Pros

Friendly co-workers, managers are pretty forgiving for most mistakes. They try to be flexible with hours (4 hour shift, 6 hour or 8 hour depending on post) As long as you're doing your job, you're pretty okay. They try for accommodations for weather.

Cons

You might have to ask to be trained in specific positions by email to all of the head management. You'll be put into a specific position for most of your career here. Working with the public, pressure to appease them. Brookfield Zoo executive heads often make decisions too late. You're expected to do your job, but co-workers may be less than inclined to do there which domino effects to you.
