Pros

You might get to see some animals from a distance Occasional cool event if you survive long enough

Cons

Prepare to work long hours for low pay, constantly clean up after others’ mistakes, and pretend you’re having fun while slowly losing your sanity. The cafeteria is overpriced, the parking is impossible, and don’t even think about asking for help you’ll just get a blank stare.
