Pros

It was great working at an zoo/aquarium (free entry). Coworkers were great & had fun with guests

Cons

As an employee you are never praised or rewarded for hard work. ALWAYS micromanaged by management, even to the point that they installed cameras that they can hear you & watch you constantly (Very creepy). The worst "HR" ever. Basically "HR" is one person who doesn't know a thing about labor laws or how Human Resources works. If you have an issue with something/someone you should be able to go to HR and they should at least care about your concerns. Basically if you go to "HR" or management about an issue it's always a "suck it up or we will find someone who will" type of response.. Then they wonder why turn over is so high. It's rare to see people last more than 3 weeks.

Pros

The only pros I can think of is that I worked at a zoo/aquarium. The location was super cool, and my coworkers were also really nice. Other than that, none.

Cons

This job would be really awesome if it weren't for the horrible, overbearing, ignorant management. You think, "Oh, cool! I'm going to be working in an aquarium, it'll be fun!" And it SHOULD be fun, but it isn't. We were micromanaged constantly, belittled by all of our higher-ups, bullied, and underpaid for everything we had to endure.

Pros

I was able to do what I love (photography) and meet people from all over the world. I worked inside Jack Daniel's Distillery and they were wonderful people with a family vibe.

Cons

Management does not listen to you. Managers will always take the side of managers, even when they're doing something wrong. I learned this when I made a complaint about my manager screaming at a customer then bothering me for giving the customer her name when he asked for it. The drama and gossip increased over a few weeks when I was genuinely trying to do great work. They stripped me of the supervisor duties I once had, claiming that all of the duties I had been handling alone for so long were not duties of a supervisor, but everyone. When you upset your manager, they'll cut your hours instead of talking it out. When they don't want to deal with you, they'll put you outside. Any and all problems I had with my manager I voiced and it was all completely ignored. There are years of complaints against this manager from both employees and guests; I am not alone. My complaints eventually led to me being fired with little to no reason given. So many of my coworkers had problems with our manager, and the one thing that broke me, I told them about and it led to my termination in the end. Do not trust this company! Find something better.
