I would say that I very much liked how easy it was for me to fit into the company's workflow, and how friendly and open every employee is. It seems that that's Ironman's golden ticket: they hire and work with those that can get along well with others and have a undying devotion to their craft.

Advice
When it comes to getting your hours in, know that the first few winter months (January-February) are typically slow around the shop and there aren't many events happening. Business begins ramping up around March and from there on, its nonstop work!

What I liked
I liked the fair amount of flexibility with the scheduling, where you could choose the events that you could shadow on/or help with. The ability to dabble in other disciplines and practice them is also a plus.
What I wish was different
The inconsistent hours can make it hard to have a regular schedule. There will be periods of time where there are almost no events going on, and then others when you will be doing a number of events throughout the week (particularly on the weekend).
Advice
Be flexible in your abilities, because even the full-time techs are expected to wear a number of hats at times.
