I have been working at Lowry Park Zoo part-time
Pros
You get to work with great people - and animals :) Employment comes with complimentary membership to zoo, FL aquarium, and MOSI. Can get limited free admission to many FL attractions.
Cons
Pay is not worth the work that is required of you. Long hours in the heat and rain.
Advice to Management
Spend more time working on employee retention.
