Sub-Zero is a great company with a good culture, several teams to fit your interests, and plenty of opportunities to grow you career and skill set. The projects they give co-ops are relevant work that teaches you, and the supervisors are very supportive as well.

Test Engineering Co-op

June 2022 • Fitchburg, WI

What I liked

I loved the variety of things that I got to work on. I had a ton of exposure to different lines, people, units, tests, programs, etc. I also loved the flexibility that I was given. If you work hard and demonstrate a clear interest and drive to help the company succeed, you can end up working on a lot of projects that interest you and actually benefit the company. I felt like the work that I did really mattered and was valued by my co-workers.

What I wish was different

As someone who enjoys text-based programming, I found myself missing it after doing LabVIEW for a long while. Not really an issue with the company or software though, just personal preference.

Advice

Network! There are so many great, fun people at Sub-Zero. Having a lot of people in your network at the company makes it very easy to ask questions about your projects to the right people and also gives you a great resource for finding new projects if your manager doesn't have anything for you at the moment. Having a team of people you enjoy working with also makes you a lot more productive, and is just flat-out more fun!

Great quality company that helps jump start you into the real working world. Friendly people who know what they are doing and are willing to help out with a new worker.

I think everything they did was well done, there is nothing I would have changed.

Advice

It led to me getting a well paying job here, so pay attention, actively seek work while at the company, and always be helpful to anyone who needs it.

Customer Service Work Experience

May 2017 • Fitchburg, WI

What I liked

I am working there as a student throughout the year so I always have a job and can make my own hours around my school schedule. Sub Zero is a very "family" oriented company and they really care about our happiness and how we can improve as a company. They believe all departments are important which really makes you feel valued as an employee. Overall, I love the culture, the customers, the management. Not much to complain about here.

What I wish was different

I wish it would be worked into a rotational program because customer service is so highly valued in the culture of the company and the sales process.

Advice

Be open minded and really take all the direction you get from coworkers and also managers. Everyone does things a little different so you always will be able to learn something.

Test Engineering Co-Op

January - August 2018 • Fitchburg, WI

What I liked

Friendly and professional atmosphere

What I wish was different

I wish I had been able to work with more departments during my co-op, so I could also explore other fields of engineering.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions. It's better to ask questions and do it right the first time than to have to re-do something.
