Amway

Global Regulatory Analyst Intern

May - August 2021 • Buena Park, CA

What I liked

Amway offers real life experience to interns. The projects given are current and requires the intern to apply all knowledge learned in Food science and Nutrition. My project was very hands own and my mentor was always available and willing to guide me.

Distribution Engineering Intern

May - August 2018 • Ada Township, MI

What I liked

Amway has a great work environment and a fantastic intern program. There were a lot of opportunities to connect with other interns and develop as a professional including an Intern Connect event with local interns, headshots, reverse career fair, and executive speakers. I was given a challenging task that gave me real-world project management skills and floor experience in the distribution center.

What I wish was different

I wish my tasks had been laid out clearer at the start of my internship. My hiring manager wanted my stretch goal to accomplish something that I wasn't planning on and it wasn't clarified until halfway through the internship. It pushed me to complete the goal under more pressure, but it was something my advisor complained about on my 8-week review.

Advice

Network! There are a lot of great employees that are ecstatic to meet new employees/interns.

Botanical Ingredient Development Intern

June - September 2019 • Buena Park, CA

What I liked

I was given a challenging, relevant project that is still ongoing at the company. The people there were very kind and willing to help.

What I wish was different

I wish I had more time to dive deeper in my project, but it is hard to go over 12 weeks during a summer internship.

Advice

My advice would be the same advice given to me at the start of my internship. Don't be afraid to fail or to try new things. At this company, I had flexibility on my project and was able to add my own twist to it and explore possibilities I thought of.

Distribution Intern

May - August 2018 • Ada Township, MI

What I liked

The three projects I was assigned for the summer would have a direct impact to the distribution center that I was interning within. I was able to work with cross-functional teams from around the company to complete my projects. I was also able to present my projects to leadership within Amway's supply chain.

What I wish was different

Nothing, the internship was absolutely awesome. I was supplied with all my necessary resources to complete my projects.

Advice

Do not hesitate to make connections with other co-workers. The individuals I interacted with at Amway were awesome people and always made time to share their background and experiences with me.
