engineering co-op

January - April 2017 • Kankakee, IL

What I liked

Was very in depth, worked on multiple projects in the plant environment and got to experience working as an engineer and with other engineers.

What I wish was different

The work itself was very great and helpful. However, my entire time working there, I was being paid incorrectly according to the offer letter I accepted. I talked with HR on multiple occasions and was told I would receive the money owed to me. However, after receiving my final paycheck after completing my rotation, I still had yet to receive this sum of money. For that reason, I quit.

Advice

Enjoy the ride. It is a fun and rewarding experience.
