Pros
-A very fun place to work -Fulfilling, meaningful work; I feel like I'm doing something that really matters in my position. -My managers are wonderful. They're reasonable, kind, and very approachable. They care about you as a person and they care about your growth. -Everyone REALLY cares about their job -Coworkers are fun and interesting -CEO (Bert) is really cool, he began his career as a zookeeper and worked his way up. He knows what he's talking about and earned his position. -I am proud to work here. I believe in the zoo's mission wholeheartedly.
Cons
-The pay isn't amazing but they are a non-profit which I think is important to remember and, personally, I'd rather make a little less at a job I love with great management than make more at a job I hate with management that makes me miserable -It is hard to move into a keeper position if that's what you're looking for but there are pathways like Volunteer Keeper Assistant and it does happen. Remember that it's notoriously hard to get a keeper position anywhere.
