I enjoyed the people that I worked with and that I was around on a daily basis. The full-time employees at Windstream were very helpful and took me in very quickly. They made me feel at home and made sure that I knew that they would answer any questions that I might have had.
Windstream has a very well organized rotational program that they do for their interns and new hires. The Windstream Finance and Leadership Program allowed me to partake in many different activities, both in and out of the office, and it also allowed me to see many different areas of the company. Doing this allowed my experience to go beyond just Internal Audit.
What I wish was different
I wish that I had been given more work. There was a lot of down time, and because of that, work was sometimes a bit boring, especially when there weren't many people in the office.
Advice
Go into your internship with an open mind, willing to take on any task that anyone might ask of you. Have a good attitude each day, because you never know when you are going to be tasked with something that can have a huge impact on your summer.
