As a student worker, I did not have benefits or advancements.
A typical day at work involved planning meetings, taking meeting minutes and any other task that an employee requested. I learned time management, more about Microsoft Word.I enjoyed working for MnDOT very much. The travel, the people, communication and workplace was great. The hardest part of the job was learning the scheduling, but I had phenomenal training. The most enjoyable part of the job was being given the freedom to be creative with some projects and to travel. - less

What do employees say about Minnesota Department of Transportation's culture and work-life balance?
A good job to have
I liked working as a laborer at MnDOT. I learned many useful skills such as using a chipper and driving a John Deere mower. I got to paint a snowplow plow and loved working outside.
The hardest part of the job is getting along with co-workers and all of the insects.
The most enjoyable part of the job was never knowing what you could find on the side of the road! - less
