Digital Marketing Intern

May - August 2017 • Pittsburgh, PA

What I liked

It was a very hands-on experience and I got to be totally in charge of my own project. I shaped what the project was going to be - my manager gave me a say in what I did. The employees were very nice and willing to help an intern with anything I asked. The culture is very sports oriented, which is my passion and that excited me to go to work every day.

What I wish was different

I sometimes felt as if I did not have enough work to do. I felt I could have been given more projects and could have contributed more.

Advice

Take initiative to do whatever you're interested in even if your manager does not assign you the work. Don't be afraid to ask others in your area for work.
