University Public Safety- Fire Protection Division
May 2018 • Rexburg, ID
What I liked
I enjoy most aspects of working with the Fire Protection team. Our boss, Byron Gilbert, is a really dependable, knowledgeable guy and it is enjoyable to work for him, which I have done off and on in my time with Public Safety since May 2018 when he hired me. The job itself is rewarding as you learn some things that have real-life application, especially if you are an Occupational Safety and Health major like I am. Though it can seem repetitive at times, the work that is performed by the Fire Protection team is really important to the safety of the individuals at BYU-Idaho; it definitely feels like you are doing something worthwhile and necessary.
What I wish was different
Sometimes thing were a little repetitive, but I realize that it was simply part of the job.
