I really liked the environment that we got to work in. Everyone there at the office was extremely kind and welcoming to me and the other interns working there. There were several days where the workers there bought us food, which was awesome! Another thing I enjoyed at Riverside was working alongside other interns. That was beneficial because it allowed us to converse about what we were thinking of saying for our social media posts.
What I wish was different
One thing that I wish was different deals with the variety of car dealerships we did work on. Each intern was given certain dealerships to work for, and we pretty much stuck with those for the whole process. After some time it got a little tedious working on the same car dealerships all the time. I wish we got more of a variety of them to work with.
Advice
One piece of advice I would share is to speak to as many of the workers that you can. Hearing their perspectives on the job industry really gave me a new outlook on the topic of jobs in the real world!

What I liked
I liked getting a feel for what it is like to work in an office environment. I also liked having a rotating schedule with other interns who came in and worked on the same things as me. That gave us a chance to collaborate with each other about the content we were creating. Everyone who worked there was also so kind and welcoming. They brought us food time to time and always made us feel welcome.
What I wish was different
It would have been nice if the internship had been paid. I also would have liked to change up the car dealerships I was doing work for here and there, because sometimes it got tedious working on the same dealerships constantly.
Advice
The one piece of advice I would share about this experience it to speak to everyone that you can who works at the job to gather advice from people who have been in the business for years.
