The atmosphere and the people I work with. They’re all really understanding with scheduling around my school schedule.

I can’t really think of any specifics that I would want to be different.

Computer Systems Analyst Intern

May - August 2019 • Pittsburgh, PA

What I liked

I loved how much they valued their interns, we were on 3 different projects. One was a personal project, one was a small team project and the last was an intern class project. They truly valued us as members of the organization and wanted us to make a direct impact.

What I wish was different

I honestly loved the overall experience, I truly do not think I would have changed anything about my internship experience

Advice

Really grasp this opportunity, do not use your internship as just an opportunity to gain a source of revenue, but to really understand yourself and what you want to do post graduation. I was very fortunate to really find myself after this internship, and I found out more about myself than I could have imagined.

Assistant Store Manager

May - September 2019 • Lee's Summit, MO

What I liked

Getting to make customers' day by assisting them in finding outfits or fragrances.

What I wish was different

The unofficial sales quota expectations from corporate took the fun out of the job.

Advice

Understand that as much as you want to prioritize the customers' happiness, you also need to view them as potential money. This means not adding on a coupon to be nice, or something similar. Reaching the sales goal is more important than one small act of kindness.
