How would you describe people who typically thrive in this industry?
I think there's a very broad range of people who can survive and do different things here, experiencing different parts of the industry. My specific section is data analysis and data collection, and for the most part, I like to be left alone, which is nice.
People working during the daytime are constantly sending messages and interacting with different people and customers. So, I think you can take either route.
In my position, some people prefer a very set routine: "This is what we do, this is how we do it." If that's how you want to work, that's fine, and you can really focus on exactly how things are done.
I think the other night shift guy is more like that, able to get in the zone of "This is how we do things." I, however, like the freedom to try new things and choose what I want to work on.
Ultimately, I don't think there's a specific type of person needed, as long as you're willing to learn, be patient, and embrace working at a small company.
