Would've been nice to meet other interns, at least those in Ohio. This may be more team specific, but more mentorship would have been helpful as well.

Utilities Worker

May - August 2018 • Amherst, OH

What I liked

It was interesting to work in a machine shop and see the amount of work that goes into a product through the production of its individual parts. Everyone was very nice and helped me whenever I had questions.

What I wish was different

Some of the tasks seemed unimportant and like they were made up on the fly. Sometimes I would have to sweep the floor while waiting for something else to do, so I wish that I would have always had a task to complete and not have had to do less meaningful tasks while waiting for a new task.

Advice

I had to do a lot of specific tasks over and over again, so you should be fine with having to repeat the same, sometimes monotonous tasks on a weekly basis. If you are okay with this and get along with other people well, you should have a good time at this job.
