Advice

Get out of your bubble and make connections. Everyone there wants to see you do well and most will take time out of their day to explain things to you.

Supply Chain Intern

June - September 2018 • Vancouver, WA

What I liked

Nice people, interesting work, and you have a lot of free reign to work on projects you feel are important as an intern.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had taken more opportunities to work with different people and at different times, as a lot of the work is self directed. I didn't fully take advantage of that.

Advice

Work all shifts (day, afternoon, night) at least once, work in areas you might not be assigned to, and learn as much as you can.

Sales Leadership Intern

June - August 2018 • Louisville, KY

What I liked

I loved the people I got to work with, the autonomy in the position as well as the pay.

What I wish was different

It's very self-driven in the fact that I was not fully prepared by my training to be out in the market with the client. You'll spend hours on the road and not have many interactions with your coworkers.

Advice

If you take on this role, spend significant time with your KAM and don't be phased by all the lingo, you'll pick up the language of CPG as you go along.

Supply Chain Intern

June - August 2018 • Rancho Cucamonga, CA

What I liked

The position is very hands on. The project that you are given for the summer is quite challenging and will actually make you learn about the business and every department in the business relates to one another. I did not feel like I was just an intern.

What I wish was different

I would've liked more in depth exposure to other departments my project was not directly related to.

Advice

Do not wait for your work to solve itself. If you don't understand something, go out and figure it out.
