Opportunities to network and gain experience in other business areas
What I wish was different
More structure throughout the summer to have consistent work to be done (there was a lot of downtime at points)
Advice
You will most likely end up presenting to senior leadership in your designated area of work (HR, Sales, IT, etc). Make sure you take time to rehears your presentations and be prepared for questions!!

I loved that this was such an immersive experience. You get to see all aspects of the business from working in the warehouses, talking to different departments, working directly with sales representatives, and working events. It was an amazing experience that teaches you all about the company.

Advice
Put yourself out there! Show your personality and work hard. It isn't an easy job and is hands on, you won't be sitting at a desk.

Payroll & Benefits Clerk
July - August 2019 • Miramar, FL
What I liked
I loved working for a company that treats their employees with such respect and appreciation. Being there for two months, I was welcomed with open arms and went off leaving others in tears. Being able to make an immediate impact for my team was also something that was amazing. Many companies slowly ease interns/summer clerks into their positions. I was able to use some advanced software to complete my tasks right from the start.
What I wish was different
I do not have any critiques to the way my department was run. Everything was extremely efficient and I really enjoyed the amount of collaboration we constantly utilized.
Advice
Be ready to learn a lot in a short period! I like to think I was a sponge. Working for such a large corporation and the largest alcohol distributor in North America has its demands. I really feel like I had a purpose with the company and really appreciate the opportunity to come back!
