The people that you meet and the exposure to the research allows you to grow as an individual. Personally I am looking to get my PhD, so this experience has been nothing but positive for me and my journey.
What I wish was different
Nothing! There are bumps of course because nothing is perfect but those detours illistrate the true nature of research and the life of a graduate student.
Advice
I would definitely say that you need to get involved, do not just run participants! You need to get involved with the research and try to make your mark on the lab and on research papers coming out of the lab.
