I really enjoyed how quickly I was able to move up in the amount of time being here. All of my higher ups were very enthusiastic and supportive of me wanting to move up and be trained in more areas.

Area Manager Intern
May - July 2019 • Tracy, CA
What I liked
One of the biggest things I enjoyed at Amazon was the working environment. Everyone works long hours but it goes by quickly as there is always something that has your attention. It was fun! I enjoyed working on my project and getting to know the associates and other area managers. It is an experience I will not forget.
What I wish was different
My internship heavily focused on a project. I would have preferred less emphasis on the project and more on learning the job. I also think a group project, or several intern projects that relate would have been a slightly better experience.
Advice
Do not be scared to ask questions or seek help. I found myself in situations where I had to speak with someone from another department. I was reluctant at first as I did not know how to approach or who to speak to in some cases. I learned that I had to put myself out there and ask around to get the help I needed.

What I wish was different
There is no real guidance on doing the internship project because none of the site leaders have ever had interns before. Learning together was a great experience but it did make it a little bit more challenging.
