Operations Excellence Intern

Nothing! It was the perfect place for me.

Carrier Development Intern

May - July 2019 • Parsons, TN

What I liked

I liked how much I was able to learn in the amount of time I was there. I liked having hands-on experience both at the Corporate Office in Brentwood and a warehouse facility in LaVergne. It was neat to see how all of the work we did benefitted multiple aspects of GEODIS daily.

What I wish was different

I wish I had spent more time with them over the summer. Other than that, I loved every minute of it!

Advice

Don’t go into this experience with the expectation that you’ll just sit around all day. They keep you busy!

Reverse Logistics Project Intern

June 2018 • Endicott, NY

What I liked

The freedom to work at my own pace and the workshop style of the work-space

What I wish was different

Wish more interns were part of the project. Solo work is liberating but can get boring quite fast.

Advice

Know the software and dress accordingly for the hardware aspects. Think outside the box as well. Manager only gave me an idea of the finished product. Details were very much up to me pending further design instruction.
