At College Works Painting we believe that balance is the real measure of success. For this reason we balance working hard and playing hard. This is another valuable lesson we teach our interns firsthand. Throughout the summer interns are invited on a team building oriented event twice a month. We refer to these events as Payroll Friday Events because they follow a payroll training session held earlier that day. The payroll training is a lot of work. The interns process their payroll to pay their painters, review their financial statements to manage the profitability of their business, and undergo various and continued training, such as OSHA regulated safety practices. This full day of work is followed by a team building event, which we feel demonstrates our work hard, play hard culture. Likewise, when the leadership team at College Works Painting gets together periodically throughout the year, they follow day-long meetings with team building events as well, be it dinner, hiking, or rock climbing. Work hard, play hard, have fun.
