Executive Office PR Intern

May - August 2019 • Idaho Falls, ID

What I liked

I loved the atmosphere at Melaleuca. Everyone is very focused on personal growth combined with company growth. I asked my supervisor to really challenge me (as this was my last internship experience before I graduate) and he really took me up on it! Even though it stretched me to my limits, I walked away feeling that I had learned so much and feeling much better prepared for my post-graduation plans.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have been there longer!

Advice

If Melaleuca offers you a position, take it. Their internship program is the most put-together, well-thought-out program I've ever been a part of. I was well-supported, appropriately challenged, and enabled to succeed. Wishing I could return again!

Business Intelligence Intern

May - August 2019 • Idaho Falls, ID

What I liked

They gave me high quality projects to work on that will have a lasting impact for my team. Most of my projects will actually be used even after I'm gone, which I feel like doesn't really happen with a lot of intern projects. For example, I built an anomaly reporting dashboard to help identify bottlenecks in their compensation run. I also automated some manual processes that previously had to be done by hand and took about an hour each week. Those projects will continue to be used frequently on a weekly or monthly basis. The team was great, and they were super helpful with explaining how their systems worked so I could make meaningful contributions. It is a good work environment and my team had pretty flexible hours. The internship program itself is really cool because they have weekly intern events where you get together will all 30 interns for special presentations, fun events, or lunch with an executive.

What I wish was different

While the quality of the projects I worked on was great, it was a bit slow at times. This is not a fast-paced environment, so it would have been good to have more work. Also, sometimes the instructions for my projects were a bit vague. Since there are a lot of complicated business rules unique to Melaleuca and no access to documentation, it was challenge to complete some of my projects without a lot of help from the full-time engineers to explain the background context. I think this aspect of the internship mostly depends on your manager. I have heard from some of the other interns that they are really busy and from others that they don't have a lot to do either.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions and try to learn from all your team members. Most of them are really friendly and willing to teach you about what they are doing. Also, if you have an idea that goes beyond the scope of the project, make sure to bring that up and ask if you can do it. Managers can't think of everything, and sometimes those ideas turn out to be the most useful parts of your project.

Brand Marketing Intern

May - August 2019 • Idaho Falls, ID

What I liked

The people I worked with were amazing. There is such a good culture of teamwork and unity as well as a good balance between hard work and fun. The projects I was asked to work on covered a variety of marketing experience from developing brand architecture to develop brand growth strategies to researching innovative packaging. I felt my work had the potential to make a large impact on the company.

What I wish was different

I wish that the job posting gave a little more information about the type of work a brand marketing intern would be doing.

Advice

I know you've probably never heard of Melaleuca like I never had, but apply for this internship and you'll quickly figure out that interning with a multi-billion dollar consumer product company with values as great as this one is an opportunity you do not want to miss out on.

Graphic Designer Intern

March - July 2019 • Idaho Falls, ID

What I liked

They throw you right in, which can be overwhelming at first but gives you tons of experience in just a 3 month period. The people are really cool and helpful to work with. I have been able to create and learn so many things.

What I wish was different

They really need to hire more people on this team. There is so much work to do but not enough people which sometimes results in very long days.

Advice

Go into it expecting to work a lot and expecting to learn a lot of helpful information/skills.
