I loved the culture there and how everyone was so welcoming. They really want to develop their interns and challenge them to new heights.
What I wish was different
I wish I had a little bit of more training with the technical things I worked on there. It was a nice challenge, but at time very difficult to catch up to speed with what I was doing.
Advice
Use your time wisely! Internships are a great way to get job offers while still in college. Show that you have the determination and learn as much as you can. It can also help you gain other opportunities. I earned two more job offers from two different companies the following semester when I returned to school due to this internship.

Finance & Accounting Intern
May - August 2017 • Atlanta, GA
What I liked
UPS is a great company. Great corporate structure, excellent opportunities in terms of mobility and working your way up
What I wish was different
I worked in the Finance & Accounting department of the Insurance leg of UPS (UPS Capital), and the work wasn't super rewarding. But I still worked with great people and didn't mind going into work every day.
Advice
Don't be afraid to ask questions, not just about the work you're doing but also about people's career trajectory and studies. Networking doesn't stop when you get the job!
