Human Resources Intern

May 2019 • Anderson, SC

What I liked

Enjoyed my coworkers. Liked the company culture as a whole.

What I wish was different

I wish that I had been given more of a variety of tasks as I have been doing pretty much the same thing for the entirety of the internship.

Definitely a great internship for someone who is new to the work world as the other employees are extremely helpful and willing to teach anything you would like to learn.

Financial Services Intern

March 2019 • Lock Haven, PA

What I liked

My experience has truly been amazing! The thing I'm most thankful for is the real world experience and knowledge that I've gained from working at First Quality. Also the people here are very kind and are always willing to help. There is also a sense of hospitality here and everyone is treated well and cared about.

What I wish was different

More interaction with the other interns, but nothing major.

Advice

It will open your eyes to the actual day to day work done by those in finance. Networking and talking to others about their duties and responsibilities may help you in the right direction for a potential career if you're still unsure.

Software Quality Engineer Intern

May 2018 • Macon, GA

What I liked

The cleanliness of the facility, the culture of the organization, and the projects I had been assigned.

What I wish was different

Be able to observe projects outside of my Quality intern field more closely, simply for comparisons.

Advice

If you show you are willing to work hard everyday, and make an effort to get to know the people who you are working with, it makes learning in a new environment much easier.
