Be prepared for long hours. As long as you work hard, you will be paid accordingly. The hours are long, but the work simple. Give yourself something you look forward to everyday and it won’t be “as long.”

What I liked
The work environment was friendly. I was introduced to a variety of projects and got to work with interesting people.
What I wish was different
There is a steep learning curve to the process flow used on a daily basis. It would have been helpful to be given a crash course in automotive industry terminology. I also wish I had been given more opportunities in line with my skillset.
Advice
Look for housing options in Danville, KY. There's lots of affordable houses and apartments to rent due to the proximity of Centre College, and Danville is only a 20 minute drive from Harrodsburg.

What I liked
I enjoyed being able to travel and learn different things about the group I was with. I learned a lot about injection mold and different processes in the industry. I got along with all of my coworkers or supervisors, and I felt very comfortable with all of them.
What I wish was different
There was a lot of paperwork to be expected, but some days I felt like I did not contribute anything. I wish there were less of those days.
Advice
Always be willing to take work, and be helpful!
