Some of my favorite things about working here is that the staff is incredibly welcoming and collaborative, and the space is creative and facilitates my ability to create content for the team. The most appealing thing to me is that Nine PBS's goals align with mine, and it is nice to be in a workspace surrounded by positive and constructive mindsets.
What I wish was different
Balancing the internship and school was challenging at times with the workloads of each. However, it is nice knowing that in the internship, you are able to take on whatever workload suits you best for the time.
Advice
The internship requires competence, interest, and ambition. You are able to do as much or as little as you'd like in terms of workload, and I believe that will ultimately determine how you succeed in the internship.

What I liked
I enjoyed the environment, community, employee benefits, and support for learning overall. The well-being of Nine PBS's employees is top-priority and you can feel it. Everyone is rooting for your success and wants to help you get there.
What I wish was different
This work can be fun but not as creative at times, but unfortunately, that comes with the brand. If creative work is your goal, this may not be the right fit for you.
Advice
Take as many learning opportunities as you can. If you have time to shadow other departments that you're interested in or to go to events, go. Get to know what this organization is truly about and you will love what they stand for.

What I liked
The work team community was wonderful! The teams are friendly, diverse and inclusive. I really enjoyed doing multiple projects for varying departments at once. The position was really flexible with working remotely.
What I wish was different
The job itself was lovely! I wish it was longer! If I could change something, I would give myself more time to dedicate to the team. Juggling both the internship and coursework took away from it a little bit.
Advice
Do not hesitate to offer help and talk about your interests! Everyone does a bit of everything at Nine PBS. If you want to do something specific, just ask!
