Auditor

April - September 2019 • Milwaukee, WI

What I liked

Learned about the operations of a large scale business at Miller Park. Gained experience in management and auditing.

What I wish was different

I wish I would've worked with more financial information to gain more experience in that area than in management.

IT Intern

March - August 2019 • Cleveland, OH

What I liked

I really enjoyed the people I worked with, my boss and the other department managers were a great time. It's fun, fast paced, yet laid back in the IT department. It's composed of an IT manager with the rest of the IT staff being interns. You get to network with the other interns, as well as everyone generally has a different major in the IT field. You get to learn from one another, which is a great experience. There's a lot of project work, especially preseason, so there's always something going on. This allows you the chance to maybe try something new, or build some practical business experience. Finally, the IT manager is the best thing about this internship. He does his best to accommodate your school schedule and tries to expose you to real-world, business related experience. Overall, this is a great place to start your IT career with; team work/individual work, communication, documentation, helping end users, troubleshooting level 1 problems (hardware/network/software issues), and basic hardware repair.

What I wish was different

More specialized IT roles. This is more of a general help desk position/IT admin position. Most of Delaware North's sites are "satellite" branches, most of the specialized IT staff is located at company headquarters in Buffalo, New York.

Advice

If this is your first IT job/internship, you'll begin to learn how things work in the real world. Things don't always go as planned or intended, so you may find yourself doing a bunch of various tasks in different directions. This job is also not a typical office job, you spend just as much time outside as inside, so be ready to work outdoors - rain/snow/shine.

Concessions Management Intern

March 2018 • Milwaukee, WI

What I liked

I really enjoyed the chance to learn how to make decisions on the fly without having to run everything past my boss. I also really liked learning how to be an effective manager by staying stern at times but also relaxed at others.

What I wish was different

I wish I would've gotten a deeper look at the actual operations and numbers of the company. I did a lot of manual labor and didn't get much of a chance to gain more computer and operational software experience.
