Supply Chain Intern
June - July 2021 • Baltimore, MD
What I liked
Everyone was so friendly and willing to help you. If you asked a question they wanted you to learn. It felt like more than a job, we even had service opportunities.
What I wish was different
It was very unorganized because it was the first year they did the sophomore program.
Advice
It is what you make it, the more you put in the more you will get out.

Area Manager Intern
June - August 2021 • DuPont, WA
What I liked
I loved the opportunity to travel and learn more about the operations and industrial fields. I also loved working for a company that had so many resources.
What I wish was different
I wish there was a better internship program. This was the first time Amazon had hired sophomores and it was a rocky start.
Advice
Try to network at every chance you get and don't be afraid to mess up! You will learn the most by failing fast. Also, don't think you are better than everyone else. Even the hourly associates. They sometimes know more than managers. Also, they will be able to teach you!

FC associate
June - August 2021 • Oklahoma City, OK
What I liked
Pay was nice, the labor was hard but consistent, I was rarely bored. I also really like my coworkers which led to multiple friendships that lasted after I left.
What I wish was different
More freedom when it came to phones, masks, etc.
Advice
If you work the night shift like I did, make sure to sleep when you get the chance or you won’t last long.

Area Manager Intern
June - July 2020 • Seattle, WA
What I liked
I really loved the virtual lectures I attended with Amazonian speakers. I also liked how I was able to connect with other college students who were also interning for various positions and create bonds with them, so I would say the people I encountered was probably my favorite part about this internship experience.
What I wish was different
I wish there was a bit more clarity between the Amazon staff and the student interns. Sometimes, interns felt in the dark about what to expect (i.e. the shipping of equipment). Other than that, I can't think of anything else that I wish would have been done differently.
Advice
I would say prepared to go with the flow. Anything could happen at any moment, you just have to know how to tap into your adaptability and flexibility skills.

Financial Analyst
June - August 2021 • Rossford, OH
What I liked
I enjoyed being able to work with different teams and master the role, since due to a management shift I was the only finance point of contact for a new site with thousands of employees.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have gone directly to the full-time role rather than having one year left to graduate.
Advice
Being willing to proactively learn and ask questions is how you will succeed. You can't prepare for every possible issue or situation, only how you adapt and act afterwards. So focus less on how it should go and more on being ready to adapt and learn based on the situation.
