Marketing Intern
June - August 2019 • Lisle, IL

The corporate headquarters were beautiful with a full gym, cafeteria, walking paths, and innovative up to date corporate culture.
What I wish was different
I wish I got more time working under the marketing director.

Manufacturing Engineering Intern
May - August 2018 • Springfield, OH
What I liked
Large plant, interesting manufacturing process. Assigned projectiles with good support, but a large degree of freedom.
What I wish was different
I wish I hadn't bought and worn new dress pants.
Advice
Invest in cheap, comfortable jeans and consider buying insoles for your work-boots (they have an excellent allowance for boots). And don't lean on anything--everything in the assembly area is covered in a layer of diesel soot.
