Pros

It was a great experience, I have tons of friends from it. I would do it all over again.

Cons

Company is having a very hard time in recent years. Nothing is good as it once was, but the focus towards the animals is less and less. It is becoming more of an aquarium with rides rather than shows and animal interactions.

Pros

Free park admission, adequate employee parking lots. Other words to meet the twenty word minimum of a review.

Cons

Everything else. It smells like fish, the animals are obviously unhappy, many die as they make mistakes while doing tank maintenance, and they try to have workers do blatantly unsafe things like work at heights with frayed/broken harnesses. Also, overly religious leadership. Pays less than comparable parks.

Pros

Laid back working style, higher pay than most theme parks, fast paced.

Cons

Lack of actual deserved upward mobility, benefits, more full-time opportunities, no training program, most micromanaged environment.
