McKenney's Inc.

“McKenney’s was a great place to work as a co-op. I liked how quickly I learned about the business and was immediately given responsibility. The company counts on the work from the co-ops to complete and aid in everyday operations, and it was visible that the work I put in made a difference. The company prides itself on the development of its co-ops and puts a lot of effort into teaching and growing their skill sets. One of my favorite parts about working the job was the amount of communication I had with workers across the entire company, and with other companies as well. I interacted with field workers, engineers, project managers, vendors, and our customers daily; and was given the opportunity to make impactful decisions. I was told on my first day working that I would be given as much responsibility and opportunity as I wanted if I put in the effort. In hindsight, this statement proved to be spot on. I was given the opportunity to run a couple of projects near the end of my second co-op term and although stressful, I learned so much from the experience and got a feel for what a full-time position would be like at the company. On top of the opportunities McKenney’s gives co-ops, I would say the best part about the company is the friendly atmosphere. I looked forward to going into the office and out on site every morning because of this atmosphere. Everyone I interacted with was so friendly and welcoming and always willing to go out of their way to help me with anything I needed. All my expectations were exceeded working for McKenney’s and I would highly recommend it to any college student interested in an internship or co-op job. ”

“I loved the hands-on experiences with a variety of fields! Our lead team was very good about letting us dive into fields we were interested. They actually cared about our career development and what we were getting out of the internship.”
