Lot Associate
June - August 2019 • Grand Rapids, MI
What I liked
I enjoyed being able to work outside with the nice weather. It was the first job I have had where I was able to work outside and enjoy the day while getting paid.
What I wish was different
I wish I would have been scheduled for more hours. My scheduling manager was only allowed to hand out a certain amount of hours on a weekly basis, so it seemed as if the lot associates took the hour cut almost every week.
Advice
I would read the job description before you accept a job. I understand that it is hard to while you’re in the moment of signing the documents, but it is always important to read the description and find out what you are and aren’t responsible for while working.

Merchandise Intern

I enjoyed having the experience to expand my knowledge of business by working for a Fortune 500 company. I also enjoyed networking with top business professionals.
What I wish was different
I wish I would have spent less time worrying if I was going to receive an offer at the end of the summer and focus more on enjoying the experience.
Advice
I would advise future interns to work hard but also not stress over receiving an offer letter. At the end of the summer even if an offer is not given the experience alone will still be beneficial to your future success.
