I'm a native of the bronx and have always been familiarized with the ill practices of this zoo but having my little sister recently get onboarded as a new hire prompted me to post this review. This zoo does not allow breaks to their underage workers even if they are working overtime shifts, my sister was caught snacking on a granola bar (not having eaten all day) and was told by a supervisor since she was eating all she'd get was a 10 minute break. On another occasion she even told my sis all they care about is how well they upsell to the tourists, nothing else. They are not allowed to change out of their uniforms to catch the zoo's transportation across this massive park, mind you it's getting hotter out. These are HIGH SCHOOLERS earning their way for bus/lunch money and management treats them worse than prisoners at rikers island! Kids definitely won't know how and where to speak up to assert their rights but I for sure will. This certainly leaves one to question just how they care for the animals that inhabit this disgraceful zoo. Don't support this zoo, I haven't for years.
