Sales and management intern
May 2021 • Fargo, ND
What I liked
Learning how to navigate the software they use and making personal connections with clients and contractors that come in. Problem solving through a material shortage was helpful to clients during this time and challenging to figure out alternatives.
What I wish was different
It was not what I expected based on the position description and I would have liked more info prior to accepting, it was vague.
Advice
Great experience if you are looking for a sales associate position or to work for the company because there are lots of opportunities after the internship, thy tend to hire from within!

What I wish was different
I wish I could have shadowed the district office staff for a day or week.

sales associate
July 2019 • Audubon, PA
What I liked
A very fun experience that led to many entertaining and informative encounters.
What I wish was different
I personally wished that there was more consistency in how managers treated their part-timers. Practically all of my managers in the past have been pretty nice except for one and I just want to know how they got through whatever screening was done.
Advice
Be very aware of how the employees talk about their managers more notably the part-timers to have a better sense of what kind of environment you are getting yourself into.
