    Take every opportunity you can to learn and grow but don’t over exert yourself. Everything you learn can be used at a different company. Never know where your learned knowledge can take you.

    Don’t be afraid to ask questions. If you don’t know something, it’s better to ask and do it right the first time than fuck it up and have to waste more time. If they get mad for you asking, bail. People who can’t accept questions are people who can’t lead.

    Do your job to the best of your abilities but don’t be loyal as they won’t be loyal to you when things are looking down.

    If they offer any sort of benefits; PTO, College Funding, Health Care, etc; take advantage of everything that makes sense to you. Don’t let ANYONE make you feel guilty for using it. The company is going to use you. Use them right back.

    Leave work shit at work and home shit at home, whenever possible. Be chummy with your coworkers but don’t mistake them for friends. “We’re like a family” is bullshit. The company will throw you to the curb if needed.
