Reviews about "animals"
Return to all Reviews- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Free admission for yourself and friends and family. Get to see animals everyday, including walking past the dolphin nursery. Discounts on animal experiences, merchandise, food, and beverages. I can go home everyday stress free, and not bring home more work or headaches.
Cons
Minimum pay. All photographers are part time employees only. During the holidays you get 40+ hours and then drop to 15 hours a week during the slower months.

Pros
The animals. They are amazing and need the interaction of the trainers to thrive.
Cons
Company/investor focused. Labor, supplies, benefits, everything is cut to benefit the bottom line. No consideration is given to retention of employees. Morale is low among employees. Little community vibe.

Pros
Love it here the animals are so funny and lots of great things happen every day.
Cons
I’m not full time to be able to do it more!
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
It is a really cool job. You get to dive with most of the animals.
Cons
It is a very physically demanding job. The hours are very unusual. There is no benefits if your part time, and you'll be lucky to ever make full time unless you are hired originally as full time. The pay is horrible for what you are expected to do.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Honestly the animals are cute.
Cons
Not a fun place to be, don’t do it.
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Cool co-workers and animals. That's it.

Low pay, management always asking you to shift schedules, crazy guests
