Pros

The animals, conservation, being out with the public, great causes

Cons

Some of the worst senior leaders anywhere. The fun has been removed from what should be an incredible place to work. When educators and bean counters run a guest experience driven business this is the result. Unhappy staff, under-performers, fear of layoff and job loss.
