What I liked

The atmosphere was authentic and genuine. Everyone was for the most part trying to to a good job and deliver quality service and product to customers in a way that was helpful and friendly. I enjoyed getting to know my co-workers and working different shifts allowed me to gain experience in different departments as well as expand my knowledge of working with different customers/co-workers.

What I wish was different

I wish I had started sooner. While it was pretty busy work, it was stable and regular, giving me some much needed structure for my summer. I got to know some of the people I worked with, but if I had been given a longer contract I could have gotten to know them better.

Advice

Always put 100% into your work and interactions with people and they'll appreciate the effort (even if they're having a bad day). Some people won't think much about it, or will expect more from you, but doing your best will be your best witness when peer reviews and supervisor meeting come around. Not to mention being friends with people (like your supervisor/boss) is much easier than being enemies.
