Temporary employee
Refrigeration Mechanic (Former Employee), San Jose, CA – January 31, 2013
Pros: good learning experience for large campus environments
Cons: open campus so many people walking thru campus area
Starting at 7:30am ending at 4:00pm,
check computer for assigned work and performed tasks as supervisor requested, I worked with steam from the central plant which was a new experience for myself. Management worked closely with employees. My co-workers were very much intouch with their trade skills and performed well. I felt that the campus was well – more... set-up and everyone worked together. The most enjoyable part of the job was that employees understood others and helped them in their work. – less
