Sales Intern

June - August 2019 • Seattle, WA

What I liked

Rapidly moving environment, exciting innovation all around you, and great cohort of intern peers. Excellent two week bootcamp with World class speakers and phenomenal training. So many resources at your fingertips and an incredible network if you leverage it.

What I wish was different

More interaction with management, at times it was difficult to know if I was doing a good job because it is a very "self-sufficient" style culture.

Advice

Soak it all in! Learn as much as you can and experience the new city to the maximum. After long work days, it can be hard to go be social or explore new areas, but it will be worth it! :) Meet as many people as possible and always be looking for a mentor.

Whole Foods shopper

May 2019 • Rochester, MI

What I liked

Very flexible job. You are allowed to choose your own hours and cancel shifts 24 hours ahead of time with no questions asked. Must work only 4 hours a month minimum. Pay can be raised at any time and while the hours are capped to 25 hours in any 7 day rolling period, we do raise our hour cap frequently if needed. The job is simple as well. If you can grocery shop, you are already qualified for this job.

What I wish was different

Our work area can be a tad unsafe sometimes. We work around people coming in and doing their normal grocery shopping, so we must be on alert at all times. We do have a standard of 60 items per hour, so we must be quick on our feet. Plus our staging areas for orders can be a bit hectic if many people are in our small room. The size of the room is just a problem for my location though. The other locations have much bigger rooms.

Advice

This job is incredible for students with a heavy course load and not much time to work. Since you only need to work one 4 hour shift a month, it is easy to take most of a month off to study while still keeping your job.

Inbound Area Manager

May - July 2019 • Murfreesboro, TN

What I liked

Constantly challenging in a good way. Everyday brought a different challenge that required teamwork between managers to overcome and find a solution. I was actively involved with the day-to-day operations and lead an area in the inbound department with around 80 associates. I learned more in these 10 weeks than any class could teach me. Also, this experience gave me real world examples for concepts learned in my supply chain classes. I highly recommend this internship to anybody in a business/engineering major.

What I wish was different

I wish the internship duration was longer and got more than one project.

Advice

You will have a lot of information thrown at you in such a short amount of time. Be prepared for that but don't feel overwhelmed. Try to become an expert in your individual department but still try to learn the other departments in either inbound or outbound. This will help with your project and being able to speak on it will look good on you from higher management.
