Cox Enterprises helps you develop as a young professional outside of your daily tasks during the internships. There are various events that allow for networking, personal brand development, and soft skill development.

I wish I had taken advantage of more of the programs during my time on campus.

Advice

Try to meet as many people as possible even if there not in the field you're thinking of working in. You might come upon something that you didn't know you had an interest in.

Business Solutions Intern

May - August 2018 • Atlanta, GA

What I liked

I enjoyed the company culture and how they gave me real work experience. I was able to do multiple assignments in both technology and business.

What I wish was different

I wish there was more opportunity to receive a position in the company. Due to many employees staying for a long period of time there aren't many position openings. There is this thing called "Cox's nice" where people are very nice but it is hard to hear real constructive criticism because they don't want to hurt your feelings.

Advice

I would suggest that you try to meet as many people as possible and to make sure that you are always requesting for more work.

The work culture there was amazing! Everywhere you go, no matter what division or department, the people there will greet you will a smile and are always willing to help and oint you in the right direction. The headquarters in Atlanta is beautiful. The facility is nice and has many amenities. Also, there is high visibility of higher positioned executives, from passing them in the halls to hearing them speak at company events. Definitely a great company to work for!

What I wish was different

I honestly wouldn't take anything back since I had such a great experience there.

Advice

The company has so many ways for you to get involved at the company with you co-workers and in the community and so many events to attend on a weekly basis. Make sure you take advantage to network every chance you get. The people there love to meet and learn a new face and are have a very warm presence.
