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.
