What have past interns told us about their experience?

It truly was very informative in what I'm looking for in my future career and I will be taking away a lot of very valuable tools that I can put towards future jobs! Trusting me with legitimate tasks that actually affected the business was really great, and I'm glad I was able to get real work experience this summer.

Thank goodness I wasn't just making coffee runs all summer like some other internships I've heard about!"

Senior, University of Oregon, Marketing Intern

I would recommend this internship highly. Because of the size of the department, I've been able to see much more internal details about the inner workings of the communication between the servers and our applications, which I would not have experienced if I was working at a larger company.

Also, the I.S. department is full of people always willing to help, and the team environment was a huge contribution to my learning experience."

Tree Top provides an excellent learning environment, where you can be of use, and also develop good relationships. This internship has helped me gain a better understanding of what I want to do in the future.

Before this Internship I didn't know what I wanted to do with my degree, now I have a good idea of the kind of tasks I would like to be doing, and the kind of company I want to be involved with.

This internship will be a touchpoint as I develop my career goals in the future."

Junior, Washington State University-Pullman, Supply Chain Intern

I would recommend a Tree Top internship for two reasons. Foremost, I was able to lead projects / events that had real impact.

I also had the opportunity to network with individuals that inevitable allowed me to land a job in my field by the end of the internship."

2018 Central Washington University Graduate, Communications Intern

It was truly a worthwhile experience! The knowledge and experience I gained from my internship are things you really can't learn in a school setting.

This internship has allowed me to see what Accounting is like in the workplace and gain hands on experience. The skills I gained through my internship I will continue to use for the rest of my career."

Junior, Central Washington University, Finance Intern

Participating in the internship opened my mind to what can be accomplished. Beforehand I had intended on staying in Supply Chain, now I realize there are multiple opportunities in the industry.

Tree Top is a great company that can teach you a lot about how to run an effective business. I have truly enjoyed my time here."
