What I liked

I liked meeting students that would be coming to school for the next year and helping them at the Veg/salad bar location.

What I wish was different

I wish the schedule would have been more concrete. We had to check the schedule each week to see if we were working or not. I would have liked to have known in advance.

Advice

It becomes really busy, you need to constantly be refilling the station.

Catering

July 2019 • Johnson City, TN

What I liked

I like the variation in tasks and events, as well as the fast-paced environment.

What I wish was different

I wish the scheduling was a little more consistent, or at least, gave a bit more notice.

Advice

As a student employee, be very clear with the hours you're available to work and draw the line about your availability. It may be different elsewhere, but my boss tends to threaten you if you don't skip class to work if there's an event. While it's a good job, it's not worth poor attendance/performance in class.

Supervisor

April 2018 • Salem, NH

What I liked

I loved the opportunity to be able to help those I supervised learn, improve, and grow as people. I loved being placed in a high pressure situation, in which I was help to high standards and held responsible for my own failures. I liked dedicating myself to something and doing whatever it took to succeed.

What I wish was different

At times I wish the process for removing members from our team could have been smoother. Other times I wish I had more control over what was going on operationally for example scheduling wise.

Advice

The one piece I would share is that supervising here can be a great experience and a great way to grow and improve as a leader.

IT Audit Intern

April - September 2018 • Cheektowaga, NY

What I liked

I really enjoyed working for a multinational corporation as large as Sodexo. This internship gave me firsthand experience working with auditing different applications that Sodexo uses. I learned about access control and risk management as well and how they both apply to ensuring the safety of an organizations assets. With all of the different spreadsheets and information that I had to deal with every day I learned how to make sure I am paying attention to every little aspect of the work I was doing - one wrong excel formula or an overlooked account in a system and a great risk could be posed to the organization. Finally, I really liked how the work I did really mattered, never did it feel like "busy work" or something to just keep me busy. My reports and findings were used and presented to external auditors that worked with Sodexo.

What I wish was different

This internship takes place during the summer, aka busy season for IT Audit, therefore the length of employment follows the duration of this season. There is plenty of meaningful work to do while you are working here but when it ends it ends. I wish that maybe besides kind of just being thrown into completing all the necessary tasks for auditing IT systems that there was some work relating to the policy development of all the IT access controls for an all encompassing experience that gives you a better idea of everything else that goes into IT Audit.

Advice

Pay attention to every little detail of information you come across and make sure to be an effective at communication with your supervisor and the external auditors.
