Manufacturing Engineer
"I worked at Amsted Rail (Brenco Division) for 6 months in the spring of 2012 and I found it very easy to get along with everybody there. I enjoyed my time and was able to be alone to do my work, but there was always someone available to help me if I needed it. My supervisor was very helpful and supportive in everything I did and made sure that my job was being done correctly."
