Tech Analysis Intern

May - August 2018 • Phoenix, AZ

What I liked

The atmosphere at US Foods is super friendly and open. It was easy to cross train and test out different domains. I loved being able to work on different teams within IT. It helped me figure out what I liked and didn't like.

What I wish was different

I wished they had a bigger internship program. We had 8 last year but I know they are growing their internship program in Phoenix.

Advice

Don't be afraid to say I don't know and ask a lot of questions. Be open to learn and get your hands on as much technology as you can.

IT - Business Analysis Intern

May - August 2019 • Tempe, AZ

What I liked

US Foods has meaningful cultural beliefs that every employee lives by daily. Also, interns are given real projects over the summer that directly impact the company’s key indicators.

What I wish was different

I wish my primary project had not been on hold for most of the summer, but that happens in real corporate life. That being said, my mentor and managers were extremely helpful in finding other projects for me to work on and learn from.

Advice

Don’t be afraid to ask questions and talk to people in any department. Everyone is more than happy to share their experiences and help you with anything.

Marketing/Procurement Intern

May - August 2018 • Perth Amboy, NJ

What I liked

Great people. This company is people-oriented, and the company culture is very kind. Kind of like old-fashioned hospitality. After completing basic duties, you have the flexibility to ask to be more involved and really dig deep to learn about the company's processes. The Intern Program is really helpful in seeing all aspects of the company, as you go on a Truck Driver ride-along, Sales Rep ride-along, and get a tour of the warehouse.

What I wish was different

Since it is a mid-sized company with employees separated by departments in different locations of the building, I just wish I was able to interact with other departments as well as work a night in the warehouse to see how everything worked.

Advice

Just talk to everyone, make connections, learn more about everybody's roles and their stories.

development oprerations

May - August 2018 • Tempe, AZ

What I liked

Friendly, Open environment. It allowed me to grow and reduce "technical debt". Worked on real projects and made connections with bright individuals.

What I wish was different

I wish the intern program was more structured. Current internship program in Tempe is very small and projects for interns are not predetermined.

Advice

Connect with others, Learn how they impact the company. Don't hesitate to ask questions to your teammates, and work on additional projects that you think might positively impact the company.

Web Application Developer Intern

June - August 2018 • Rosemont, IL

What I liked

I was working on projects that went into production and had the ability to work on their mobile application, which was a great process. Most of my time, I felt like a full-time employee and the team was really welcoming. I definitely loved the environment and learned a lot during that experience.

What I wish was different

I just wish that there were different locations instead of solely being in Rosemont and Tempe. That way I can still be with the company, but be in a different state.

Advice

Definitely ask questions when you do not know the answer and AFTER you try the problem yourself. It is okay not to know everything, and only by asking questions will you learn and make more progress.

Insights and Analytics Intern

June - August 2018 • Rosemont, IL

What I liked

My supervisor was very approachable and gave me great feedback. The company itself was very organized and allowed the interns to make the most out of their own experience.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have shadowed different functions of the company.

Advice

I would recommend that students take advantage of all their resources and apply themselves as much as they can in their final projects. Incorporate everything you have learned in your classes.
