Material Handler
June - August 2019 • Salt Lake City, UT

I enjoyed the atmosphere of the workplace. Everyone was very kind, and as members of the church, there was no smoking, drinking, or foul language at the workplace. There were also weekly devotionals which were great to have!
What I wish was different
I wish there were more employees hired, since many of us worked overtime. But aside from that, the job was as expected!

Choose a job environment that you feel comfortable working in. If you plan for this, then you’ll enjoy the job atmosphere a lot more and be more likely / willing to stay!

What I liked
I enjoyed the environment. You work with a lot of really good people that are just doing their best, and that is rewarding.
What I wish was different

Zone Leader
June 2016 • Fort Lauderdale, FL
What I liked
I loved dedicating all of my time and effort to seeking opportunities to serve others, to teach them what has brought peace and happiness into my life, and to learn so much from the cultural diversity that exists in south Florida. In two years I became fluent in Spanish, I made lifelong relationships, and I gained more life experience than any amount of time I have spent in schooling or work.
What I wish was different
I wish I had dedicated and applied myself even more than I did. Even with all that I learned there were thousands of opportunities that I could have learned from.
Advice
There is nothing more rewarding than losing yourself in selfless service to others in need.
