Wildlife Conservation Society Employer Reviews

WCS is a great place to work, but the work itself is extensive. Majority of my day is spent on the computer researching grants and prospects for future grants to benefit the organization. My co-workers are all wonderful and the management is great. The best part of the job is the location. Working at the Bronx Zoo is an experience that can never be – more... matched. – less

A typical day at work can start slow at times and other times fast. I have learned that in order to be productive, you have to be flexible and learn as you go. I loved my co-workers at all of my previous employment opportunities as well as my supervisors! The hardest part was leaving my employment when it was time that employment ended. The most enjoyable – more... part is feeling that I am being productive within a team. – less

Very busy, meet new & interesting people Co-worker are great, the hardest part is not having more time in the day lots of new projects everyday. the animals & saving the society money was the best part!

Ienjoy working at The Bronx Zoo watching the little ones smiles and meeting all types of people and the the managers, gate supervisors and others that work within the zoo and around it. Also the perks that you receive as a worker

had fun. everyone there was hard working and good to people. i will say the hardest part is when there is many people and you have to work ten times as fast

They invite you in with there hospitality and so froiendly. I would eat at there restaurant everytime i come to visit

A typical day started with me taking a walk through the park and recording its sanitary condition. I then gathered my team and assign then areas for the day. Their jobs were to keep the park litter free and safe. I loved working there. Every day was a new experience with the animals and visitors. The fact that I learned about animals both old and new – more... to myself was a great plus for me. Management was fair and reasonable when it came to dealing with their employees. My co-workers were like family to me. We worked together as a team to make sure all areas were taken care of. The hardest part in my opinion was working outside in 90+ degree temperatures. The most enjoyable part I would say was the learning opportunities and room for advancement. – less

Working in the bronx zoo was an all out great experience. Almost every week there was a new attraction which kept the park flowing with customers. Providing information about the park's different animal locations, as well as resturants was a big part of my job. The supervision was excellent, being there was always a supervisor always present. This helped – more... ensure the park meet it's quotas daily and effectively. Working with my co-workers was very enjoyable. They were very friendly as well as helpful in times of need. The hardest part would have to be traveling around the whole park, which in turn also made it the best part of the job. There was always someone present in need of assistance and i was there to help. – less

During the time i work for the Bronx Zoo. The work environment was clean, safe and organize. But as a previous worker from 2011. There was poor condition in management. For example, lunch time was assign on the time they give to us. Sometime I will go home and have no lunch time. We was send home depending on the weather condition. If it was raining – more... or snowing we wouldn't work that day. As an admission worker I was place in sudden area which wasn't needed to place at. Their was poor education of management. Many supervisor will fool around instead of taking full responsibility. When it came for cashier of having a void we had to call supervisor which was located else where. They will take almost an hour to arrive. Even though it was fun at times, other times it wasn't worth it to work in the Bronx Zoo. So for that reason I decided to leave. – less

I show to work receiving everything I need for my tour and schedule for the day .I learned in advanced any events locations at the park management supervised visits to post during tours. Co-workers work hard as well to do our best to try and secure unsafe actions in the park best we can.The hardest part of the job may have been not to eat while on duty – more... lots of great smelling foods.My most enjoyable part of the job was to see happy and excited guests on a daily basis. – less

Motivated, caring employees love their jobs. Excellent locations. Could use better direction from the top.

Each day working for Wildlife Conservation Society to me it's a great experience. I've learned a lot when it comes to performing housekeeping tasks (general maintenance). I appreciate the managers that have always given me their support. The best part of the job is that me and my fellow co-workers always worked as a team.

I WORKED IN A SHACK.. I USED TOUS TO ATRACT PEOPLE AND KIDS SO THEY WOULD BUY SOMETHING. I LEARNED GREAT COMUNICATION SKILLS AND CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS..MY CO WOKERS WAS NOT NICE. THE HARDEST PART WAS BEING IN THE HEAT ALL DAY. I ENJOYED BEING ACTIVE WITH THE CUSTOMERS.

The management tends to micromanage which is a non conducive environment for growth within the company. the pay is minimum wage the most enjoyable part of the job is the event opportunities and working along side the beautiful animals

The atmosphere was fun to work in. the people were pleasant and you were always busy.

its a wonderful place to work , just not the best when you have to stand in the heat allday .

The wages and benefit are livable but the way the zoo is ran in such a manner that there is no life before work and it wasnt a good experience for me

They job would go smoother if the managers were nicer, didn't let you work alone on busy days and if they train others so they wouldn't have to overwork the same person for every single thing.
