Sales Intern

October - December 2021 • Birmingham, AL

What I liked

It was virtual and paid more than my other jobs.

What I wish was different

I wish they had more thorough training, were more open about the job duties upfront, and cared about their interns. During the interview, I was told that I would be involved in several different aspects of the company. However, all I got to do was cold calling. I would call a list of 30 people on average daily, along with follow up emails. Most people didn't respond, and almost everyone who did respond told me to stop contacting them. Rather than tweak the process or acknowledge its shortcomings, the blame was shifted onto me for its lack of success. I was let go with no notice.

Advice

Have a second job. They mentioned that they have fired multiple interns in the past. This is not a stable job and it is not a company that wants to help you grow. You need another source of income.
