Area manager intern
May - July 2021 • Beaumont, CA
What I liked
The challenges I was faced with. Everyday brought a new barrier I had to over come and made me learn a lot from these experiences. I also enjoyed my managers and they were extremely helpful and showed me a lot.
What I wish was different
Some days were very unorganized. I worked at a new fulfillment center that was still getting broken into. This made some days challenging but I over came this through asking questions and being resilient even when things didn't go my way.
Advice
I would highly recommend applying to jobs out of your comfort zone. I was nervous for the job being a manager in a completely different state but ended up being the best experience of my life.

Data Center Technician
January 2020 • Manassas, VA
What I liked
People are nice and mostly smart.
What I wish was different
Management is full kool-aid corpo. AKA they don't care about you or your career in the slightest, and calling them out on poor management will put you in the dog house forever.
Advice
Don't take this internship.
You come in as L3 at 32/hr if you are hired. You want to do something else so you come in as L4, which might be 85k+ a year salary.
Project engineer
Technical project manager
data center manager
Anything. DCO tech is not appreciated in the slightest.

more flexible hours that could have allowed me to continue working at amazon when i returned to school for the fall semester

Applying for an amazon warehouse position requires you to be able bodied, have high tolerance for long hours and manual labor, 40+ hours a week minimum, etc. It is a time and labor consuming job that requires adjustment and high tolerance.

What I liked
I loved my team and how accommodating they were. They were all willing to help me be a successful intern.
What I wish was different
No one on my team was in the same city as me, nor were there any interns in the same role as me in Nashville. I wish I at least had in-person interaction with my team. I know covid played a part in this.
