Pros

They are a part of Metro and it could be easy to transfer or apply to one of their other centers, looks somewhat good on a resume, free admission ( but you'll never want to go).

Cons

Horrible work schedule and is unreliable. The staff is disinterested in treating each other well and terrible at relaying information NEEDED. Bad wages, no set hours, poor management and condescending upper management.

Pros

Public employment, dedication to providing quality of life to animals. Supportive peer interactions

Cons

Prioritizing social policies over essential job functions. Communicating from the top down. Many jobs are represented and involve the labor union that can be a barrier to a streamlined work place.
