May - July 2021 • Lansing, MI
What I liked
I loved my coworkers and my boss. Everyone was super kind and enjoyable.
What I wish was different
They were not the best about sticking to my scheduling limits. I would often be scheduled for times I had marked as unavailable, which made my time difficult to manage.

A job here definitely teaches you about home improvement. I came in knowing nothing and left being able to name most pieces of hardware and different types of lumber.
