Pros
Working with the variety of animals. My co workers are all awesome!!
Cons
Toxic environment with the many interactions. I was not hired on to be a dancing bear I was hired to care for the animals. The HR department (the higher ups) need to be brought back down to reality and do our jobs for one or two weeks and do ALL of our responsibilities and daily tasks AND take a million interactions. The higher ups don’t care. They don’t care that animals are laying in their own fecal or the animal has been actively pacing and scratching. They don’t care if the animals have maggots in their enclosures. Or the black widow infestation. Or the cockroaches. They don’t care that it is unbelievably hot and it’s not even summer yet. They only care about the KPI’s and their token count. Be ready to get yelled at and told that all animals need to have more enrichments but we can’t find anytime to make enrichments and if we make a request for certain enrichments we are told that there isn’t enough money in the budget. They will take away bonuses saying that they can’t afford to give out bonuses. This company is a joke.
