Verizon

During my internship, I was interning at their Brooklyn office, whereas the majority of their interns were stationed at their head quarters in New Jersey. As a first year intern, their focus was having me learn the functions of each department, how they functioned independently, and the inter-dep...

High pressure, many times when working under tight deadlines to produce materials and reports for c-suite, particularly the CFO.

Do not expect too much for work-life balance as an associate/stock. My colleagues who were full time employees were also free as I was had to kill time by reading or competing with other employees. At least they had access to a computer to watch shows while on the job.

The usual day at Verizon as an associate/stock is quite free.

The expected compensation depends on the retail store, but I was paid $10 an hour plus commission if you obtain a certain gross profit for sales.
