What I liked
I liked all the training (negotation training and sales training) and experience (learning about the company and different departments, shadowing sales people, mentor program, volunteer events, and Lunch and Learns) throughout my internship.

Network as much as possible. I got this opportunity through networking and got another internship opportunity during the fall semester through networking internally throughout my internship.

What I wish was different
I wish i worked with more departments to get a wider understanding versus just working in my department within HR.

May - August 2019 • Louisville, KY
What I liked
What I liked about working at UPS was being right at the airport. I worked day shift so I got to spend many days watching different planes take off and land at SDF in Louisville, KY.

What I wish could have been different, was more work ethic from co-workers.

One piece of advice I would share about this experience is the job maybe hard mentally and physically but it's totally worth the paycheck at the end of the week!
