Pros
I love working with SOME of my co-workers. They really were like a family.
Cons
My head manager definitely had her favorites, and I wasn’t one of them. She would knit pick everything I would do. There was one time that we got mystery shopped and someone didn’t hit any of the 5 things we were suppose to hit, and I swear she was so angry at whoever didn’t hit the points. I could’ve swore she thought it was me, and gave me side eye the end day. Surprise surprise, it wasn’t me. One of the leads coworkers had told the head manager about me showing another worker some of the stuff we were selling as she was interested in buying. I had to be pulled aside and “talked” to. Never in my life have I had someone who I thought was chill do that. So glad I never came back to work here.

Pros
Educating the public on conservation. Feeling like you're a part of something bigger.
Cons
Ran by a tight knit group of lifers whom have never held positions outside of WCS. There is no real room for advancement due to the ancient boys club. There is nasty subculture of sexism. Highly unattainable goals. Low pay.

Manager is very tough to work with, working outside can be rough and the manager doesn't make it easier. Dealing with guest can be hard at times.

I worked at Wildlife Conservation Society full-time
Pros
The mission is great and Bronx Zoo is a beautiful place to work.
Cons
Salary is low, even for nonprofits. Internal politics and boys club atmosphere are problematic. Management needs work. Many policies which protect the upper-levels at the expense of the average employee.
