I enjoyed having almost the same responsibilities as the fulltime employees. The 2-week training period before hand was beneficial, but it was a learn as you go kind of job. The atmosphere of the office was also great because they would play music all day.
What I wish was different
Little more hands on experience before hitting the floor. I did not know what I was doing for the first week and made some mistakes when talking to carriers. I know it isn't a bad thing to make mistakes, but I lost trust of some carriers because of silly little mistakes that could have been avoided.
Advice
Be prepared to work hard and I hope you like talking on the phone because there will be a lot of that.

What I liked
I loved getting the opportunity to experience inside sales. The people at Coyote were my favorite part of the internship. Everyone was very welcoming and approachable. I also loved that we did what the full time employees did.
What I wish was different
I can’t think of anything.
Advice
Be confident in yourself! I was intimidated because I was not very knowledge about the industry coming into the position. (They’ll teach you). Try your best and you can compete with even those that studied supply chain in school.

What I liked
I like that you were treated as an adult and put us right in the middle of their business. It gave me a real good experience for when I graduate and move on to a career. It faces you with real business situations and gives you opportunities for growth.
What I wish was different
I wish I had more of a choice choosing my position
Advice
You can never over prepare yourself through the training program. Work hard, and remember to embrace the culture and have as much fun!

What I liked
They treated you like an adult and made you feel like part of their family. I had no issues making friends or finding something to do after work. Coyote pairs you with a perfect mentor and allows you to work independently but ask for help when needed.
What I wish was different
Nothing. I learned so much this summer and had a great time making friends and memories.
Advice
Work hard but have fun. It can be stressful but the people around you make it so much better.
