I liked the customer interaction. Customers were very excited and happy to receive their deliveries
What I wish was different
I wish accountability had been different, as many other employees would not fulfill their duties.
Advice
Make sure whomever you work for has accountability measures to ensure you’re fairly compensated.

Inbound Area Manager
May - July 2019 • Murfreesboro, TN
What I liked
Constantly challenging in a good way. Everyday brought a different challenge that required teamwork between managers to overcome and find a solution. I was actively involved with the day-to-day operations and lead an area in the inbound department with around 80 associates. I learned more in these 10 weeks than any class could teach me. Also, this experience gave me real world examples for concepts learned in my supply chain classes. I highly recommend this internship to anybody in a business/engineering major.
What I wish was different
I wish the internship duration was longer and got more than one project.
Advice
You will have a lot of information thrown at you in such a short amount of time. Be prepared for that but don't feel overwhelmed. Try to become an expert in your individual department but still try to learn the other departments in either inbound or outbound. This will help with your project and being able to speak on it will look good on you from higher management.
