Western Specialty Contractors

Assistant Sales/Project Manager

June 2020 • Ridgefield, NJ

What I liked

The environment at Western is very positive and encouraging, and the major goal of your coworkers (other than getting work done efficiently) is to help you learn. They invest in every employee and try to make you the best you can be by exposing you to various experiences.

What I wish was different

I wish I didn't intern here in a pandemic. Other than that, I loved it.

Advice

I'd advise anyone interning anywhere to make the most out of the experience even if you don't think this is the career path for you because you never know what can come out of an internship opportunity.

Intern

May - August 2020 • Omaha, NE

What I liked

I liked the people that I worked with. They were very friendly and the environment was very comfortable to be around. I never felt like I was hated by my coworkers and I really enjoyed that experience.

What I wish was different

I wish I was given more work to do. At times work could be slow, and finding things to work on would be difficult, but manageable.

Advice

One piece of advice I would share is to find ways to keep yourself busy. If you are given nothing to do ask your coworkers if they have anything for you to do, and I am certain they will give you a task to do.
