Q&A

Learning and Development Intern

June - August 2020 • Bloomington, MN

What I liked

I learned so much during my internship with Schwan's. I really enjoyed the fact that I was able to own a project throughout my program from start to finish, and that my work on this project is still being used in the company to this day. I also was able to add so many people to my professional network and learn about all different functions of the business.

What I wish was different

I would have loved to experience my internship in the office in Bloomington, but due to COVID-19, the program was entirely virtual. I would have enjoyed bonding more with my fellow interns informally throughout the program, which was hindered due to the virtual format.

Advice

Soak up all the information you get. Meet people who work in other areas of the business that interest you and ask them questions. Everyone at Schwan's wants you to succeed and wants you to get the most out of your experience.

Internal Audit Intern

June - August 2020 • Marshall, MN

What I liked

Schwan's had a great culture, even though my Audit Internship was online I was able to connect with and have a positive experience with almost everyone in the organization. Also as an intern the Internship program was really well planned and if you ever needed help I always felt like I got the help I needed if I asked for it. The Final Presentation was also a great experience because I got to present what I accomplished during the Summer to my team, the Controller, the CFO, and also other people that supported me at Schwan's along the way.

What I wish was different

Obviously it would of been awesome if it could of been in person but sine COVID-19 it had to be online. Overall I was really happy with my experience at Schwan's.

Advice

If you come in ready to work and improve on your skills you will have an amazing time interning at Schwan's. Taking feedback and running with it is also a great skill because usually the people you work with and for have a lot of experience and have great advice for projects, and also professional development.
