Pros

Most of the people who work in my department are kind and hard working. It's a strong company and we make the best products in our industry. The benefits are pretty good.

Cons

Throughout society, especially on this day (6/26), I am allowed to be who I really am. At Shaw, I've been encouraged by my boss's to keep things about me to myself. This includes big things, but then also small things like tattoos. Most creative departments have people with tattoos, except at Shaw. It is hard to be creative and a productive contributor when I'm hiding.

Pros

Various roles you can get plugged into as an engineering student. Great setup for the co-ops to live together in Dalton to be social after work. Depending on the supervisor/manager, hours can be flexible

Cons

No clear direction on what is expected. Lack of formal agenda and project for co-ops. I spent one rotation literally picking up donuts for executive meetings...

Pros

The best part about the job is the ability to set own hours. You can't beat the flexibility and independence that you are offered by making your own weekly schedule. A nice perk to the job as well is the expense budget to cover gas and tolls. I also really enjoy interacting with my customers.

Cons

The toughest part about the job is storing samples. There are so many each and every year it's hard to find a place to store them. Also, I wish I interacted with my co-workers more so on a regular basis.
