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.
