Pros

I have had a great time so far in my internship. My co-workers are always there setting me up for success. My biggest fear was that I was always going to be making mistakes but my training and supervision have been A+. I can always get an answer to my question and if I do make a mistake they help me fix it without reprimanding me. I am very happy with the work I do and find myself in a very cheerful mood throughout the day. I would be more than happy to accept a full time position here after my internship ends.

Cons

At first there were days where I didn't seem to have much to do. But those days are long gone and I have plenty of work to keep me busy.

Pros

The company is good at giving employees the opportunity to learn different areas of building the product. If you are a hard worker and reliable, you are offered to learn new things in different departments. Everyday you get to talk to people from all different departments of the plant.

Cons

Not always sure if you will have a 40 hr work week because of material issues. Business does slow down at certain times of the year depending upon the weather in the united states.
