Bitter sweet - Special Events Manager BREC Employee Review

Kind people, flexible, and fun

Sometimes scheduling lesson horses can be hectic, and the other instructors tend to be young

The staff at the zoo and BREC as a whole are all wonderful. The organization does a great job with the onboarding process, both in terms of knowing what you'll be doing in your position and knowing about the organization. The volunteers for the education department are also all great at what they do.

The pay was not competitive. For a full-time zoo educator, it was less than $15 an hour. There were also expectations of performing many different duties, including, but not limited to, animal care (cleaning, diet preparation, and enrichment), scheduling programs and organizing their payment, and leading programs at the zoo and off-grounds.
