Pros

Absolutely none. This place takes away any passion you ever had

Cons

Unless you want to spend money on therapy and dr’s appointments because of how terrible this place is that you will leave damaged mentally and physically don’t work here. The animal care manager is a poor example and spends more time creating cliques than solving any real problems. Most of the keepers ever besides 1-2 don’t do any work and would rather gossip and make rude comments than take care of their assigned animals leaving the 1-2 keepers who care with all the work. And at the top is the director who will openly belittle, scream, and call you names for trying to suggest changes

Pros

Some of the people there are very dedicated to the animals and mission. It seems to be the only reason they stay.

Cons

There are so many things its unbelievable. Unfair and hateful to employees. Upper management is out of control. Anywhere that purposely plants seeds of division among their staff is a toxic place to work.
