Painter
May - August 2019 • Cortland, NY
What I liked
Location was very convenient for me and I was also able to work with friends.
What I wish was different
The shifts started at 6 am so waking up before then four days a week during the summer was rough but it was worth it in the end because the work day ended earlier around 2 pm.
Advice
Me and my coworkers had a lot of fun while working but we had to make sure we were getting our job done. Work can still be enjoyable as long as progress is being made.
