I absolutely loved the culture within Sonoco. It was an extremely welcoming environment and everyone was always willing to spend the time helping me if I needed it. Unlike some of the stories I've heard from fellow students, I had no issues being a women in a tech job.

Accounting/Finance Intern
June - August 2018 • Hartsville, SC
What I liked
I really enjoyed the rotational part of the internship. I was able to intern in two different departments - Internal Audit and Business Unit Finance. Through the rotational program I was able to learn a lot about the company and gain valuable skills.
What I wish was different
I wish I had known more about the company when I first started. I knew that Sonoco was divided into four different segments, but what I didn't know is that within those four segments there are 16 different divisions.
Advice
Talk to as many people as you can and get to the company as a whole. It covers so many different areas and people are always willing to help you learn. Be curious, be a hardworker, and be open-minded.
