I had NO experience in manufacturing going in to this and came from a typically chaotic work environment (serving in restaurants). This was my only manufacturing experience. It was much too boring for me. I understood the nature of the work going into it, but underestimated how boring it would be. There are probably other departments that are more mentally challenging and stimulating, but these departments typically require more experience (or education) to get in to. Be sure to be in contact with your supervisor so there is no miscommunications and they are quite strict on days off and tardiness.
