Technology and Operations Intern

June 2020 • Brooklyn, OH

What I liked

The work was never boring, there was always work to do. I had a good team; both the interns, employees,, and contractors were also nice and helpful. They have an excellent amount of documentation to get you started and to guide you. They mean it when they tell you to ask questions.

What I wish was different

More direction, it is very much not guided. It may be more so when in-person, but while remote, you are generally left on your own.

Advice

Never be afraid to ask questions, whether for help or direction. You won't look stupid or foolish, your boss will rather see it as genuine desire to do well and to do work.

Processing Assitant

April 2020 • Amherst, NY

What I liked

I really liked how understanding and helpful the management is. I appreciated the work from home, and the flexibility around school, they truly made being a student my first priority. I also learned valuable skills and gained mentors in this role.

What I wish was different

I do wish I would have had the option to work in the office setting as well as work from home. I feel like it would have helped my networking, and allowed me to learn even more from my co-workers.

Advice

Always try and/or ask, the worst anyone can do is say no. If you think a process can be improved, let management know how you think you can improve it. If you want to learn more about the process, ask.
