The experience of having a lot of impact on the amusement park through both operational and Sarbanes-Oxley audits. Also, learning about all the intricacies of all aspects of not only one amusement park but the entire Cedar Fair Entertainment Company portfolio.
What I wish was different
A little more training, but it was a tremendous experience learning as the summer progressed.
Advice
Do not worry about the quantity of audits as well as the complexity of some of them. As you go through the summer, it will all work out in the end.
