Pros: work with animals, great co-workers
Cons: terrible morale, terrible management practices, lack of respect for employees
As with many non-profits, you don't work here for the pay or the hours. You work at Zoo Atlanta because you believe in the mission that they are trying to fulfill - the advancement of conservation education.
Sadly, the morale at this non-profit is dismal. Employees are overworked - having the responsibilities of 2 or 3 people. Co-workers are incredible
– more... people, but most are exhausted and unhappy. Management is unorganized, insensitive, and unsupportive.
Since leaving this job, I am a happier and healthier person. While the work was fulfilling, the environment wasn't healthy or constructive. Its unfortunate because it could be a great company to work for, but it just isn't. – less
