What I liked
I loved the experience of working in a "blue collar" job with real people who do this for a living. I love the experience of learning the job then teaching it to others. It was interesting to see all the different people who do the work.
What I wish was different
I wish there had been more opportunities to learn other jobs and go beyond the one area we were assigned.
Advice
Even if it is not something you want to do in the future it gives you immense respect for the people who do it as their job.

Accounting Intern
May - August 2018 • Renton, WA
What I liked
Exposure to different departments and insights to working in a Fortune 200 company.
What I wish was different
I wish there had been opportunities to work on projects that stretched across different departments, requiring me to learn more about other aspects of the company outside of accounting.
Advice
Work hard, smile, and look for ways you can help your department. Some of my favorite projects came from hearing someone share a problem then offering my skills, experience, and willingness to learn to tackle it.
