      I worked at Messer Construction full-time

      Pros

      Great atmosphere! Superiors really focused on mentoring me and cultivating relationships. It was intimidating at first, but they slowly gave me more responsibilities as I became more comfortable with my abilities.

      Cons

      Co-ops can lack experience needed to be competent.

      Former Employee - Anonymous Employee in Lexington-Fayette, KY

      Pros

      Learned a lot about the technical side of buildings. i.e. How air handling units and heat exchangers work, as well as a lot on plumbing systems, building system technology and even how to manage teams.

      Cons

      Work could be very repetitive.
      Dealt a lot with Ipads.
      Work seemed bureaucratic at times, in that there were MANY individuals that had to be informed of a decision before any progress could be made. I understand safety is an issue here but at times it seemed way too counter-productive.

      Advice to Management

      delegate work better. Include interns/co-ops on as many events/meetings as possible to allow for maximum exposure to real job. Encourage interns to make decisions on the fly.
