Inside Sales Intern
October 2018 • Green Bay, WI
What I liked
I really enjoyed and benefited from cold calling, especially as an intern. It's awesome that they trust interns to talk to our clients and work on lead generations for future projects for our sales reps. I like the atmosphere and environment provided at the office. It really feels at home here.
What I wish was different
Learning more about sales as a career and how our sales reps calls differ from cold calling on leads.
Advice
Take the opportunity if it's given. Cold calling experience is unlike any other. It's a great skill to have and I believe everyone in the business world should have to do it.

Assembly Technician
June - August 2019 • Green Bay, WI
What I liked
The assembly and packaging work was manageable with all the people in the department. The pay bonus for working 2nd shift and weekends was nice.
What I wish was different
Work would sometimes be completed for our area, so we would need to transfer to a new department. Having to pick up new skills for each area could be time consuming, but eventually everything clicked.
Advice
The physical exertion is bearable, but be prepared to get tired. The pay is worth it, and the work is very manageable.
