Corporate Trainee Intern

May - August 2019 • Sussex, WI

What I liked

As a trainee, I was positioned in the photo department. Within this department, I was able to wear many hats and gain an understanding of the many different aspects that goes into a photoshoot. In addition, I had multiple opportunities to shadow different departments such as marketing, design innovation, creative, video, and packaging design. All of the employees were very welcoming and eager to help/educate the interns.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have had more hands-on experience in the photo department, but that was limited to the number of shoots they had scheduled during my time there.

Advice

Networking is key! The number of times I was told it's not what you know it's who you know was overwhelming.

What I wish was different

Honestly, I wish I could've stayed longer.

Advice

Go in willing to learn and you will get a lot out of working here.

Corporate Trainee Intern - Multimedia Specialist

May - August 2019 • Sussex, WI

What I liked

Quad specifically tailored my internship to my specific interests and expertise. While other interns were working in Accounting and IT Departments, I was working with the corporate communications team to produce multimedia content for internal distribution. I met so many create colleagues, many of which I still keep in contact with. Quad treated me like a fellow employee, and not just a coworker, which made my experience so much different then other positions I've held in the past.

What I wish was different

Nothing at all. Quad provided me a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I wouldn't change a thing about it.

Advice

If you make a good impression at an internship, it could lead into a post-graduate career. At the end of my rotation, I was offered a full-time position with Quad.
