Better Being Co

Process Engineer Intern

April - September 2021 • Ogden, UT

What I liked

I really liked that they gave me as much responsibility as they did. I was brought on to implement a new returns process to improve the raw materials returns process to the warehouse. This in return started a huge movement to improve the inventory accuracy overall. I was able to create the process from start to finish, I got all the bugs out with IT, after it was up and running well, I trained the new employees on that process. After it was running well with new employees, I was able to work with the Director of Operations and implement new process on the warehouse side of things as well to improve the inventory accuracy from 37% to 95%. We value streamed some of the areas to improve pulling/picking/item returns. We also implemented a new audit process to improve order picking accuracy. They put a lot of trust in me, did not micro manage me and within three months, the process improved immensely.

What I wish was different

The reason I was able to work with the director of operations so much was because after I was done implementing the new returns process in the manufacturing side, or raw materials side, there was not really a plan in place for what I was going to do next. I heard that they had plans for me, but nothing ever came of it. Which was hard to figure out what to do next. I wish there was more planned for me to do, because there were some days where I had free time all day long. That is when I started talking with the director of operations and working with him on the side.

Advice

I did not have very much experience other than working in warehouses on the bottom of the totem pole and this internship gave me tons of confidence. I am glad I did this to get the experience, but just being an intern and getting to present to the CFO all of the accomplishments that I accomplished in a short amount of time was something I never thought I would be doing. I was working next to Directors and VPs of the company all day everyday, which is also something I did not think I was going to do. They wanted me to stay and if I did not live in Salt Lake, I would have. It was something I will never forget and recommend all students do if they have the opportunity.

What I liked

Very friendly and helpful co-workers. Everyone is extremely willing to answer any questions and train thoroughly.

What I wish was different

I wish that I could have more time off during my summer break. I worked a lot of hours.

Advice

Apply to everything. Even if there seems to be no reason for them to hire you, you never know what they're looking for.

Management intern

What I liked

The people that I worked with were all relocated from Brooklyn. They were different than the people that I usually associated with. So that was refreshing.
