I enjoyed the skills I attained like knowing how to use power tools and equipment to cut grass and keep the areas clean. I also enjoyed clocking in and out rather than putting my hours in. I personally enjoyed the responsibility of keeping parks and pathways clean for public housing.
What I wish was different
The only thing that I wish had been different was the availability of the proper equipment that is needed for the job. There had been times where it was raining and there were no rain gear available but I could not wear my rain jacket to the job. Also face masks as well for when I needed to cut grass.
Advice
To be very careful when it comes to handling the machinery as serious injuries could possibly occur and there is no medical coverage until you are a permanent worker. Attendance is the biggest priority when it comes to promotion, so showing up early really helps.
