What have interns told us about their experience?

"I would highly recommend Tree Top as a place to intern. Tree Top is very warm and welcoming; they make you feel right at home. They provided a great learning environment that was beneficial to your field of study. The tasks that are given are realistic and meaningful to their daily operations. In addition, everyone I have met are very helpful and truly want you to succeed. The staff are also very helpful with allowing you to explore different positions while you are here as well."

  • 2025 Graduate, Central Washington University, Finance Intern
  • "Right from the start, Tree Top welcomed me in and allowed me to shape the internship as I wanted it to. The ability to explore various departments, participate in employee training sessions, and lead impactful projects made my time here invaluable. Not only do the people you work with want you to succeed, but they also encourage you to explore, fail, and learn as much as possible. I would recommend this internship to anyone looking for a fun and immersive experience in the world of apple processing."

  • Junior, University of St. Thomas (MN), Operations Management Intern
  • "I have learned so much this past summer with the entire analyst and development team by sitting in on working sessions, participating in team meetings, and working on my own intern projects. The whole team was very open, welcoming any questions I had, and the company itself has a great culture that is rare to find these days. I am grateful for everything I have learned this past summer, and I would highly recommend this internship to other students who are looking to grow professionally and personally."

  • Senior, Central Washington University, Data Analytics Intern
  • "My time at Tree Top solidified my continued pursuit of a manufacturing-oriented pathway after college. Not only was I prompted with many different technical sub-fields of engineering, but I was also able to strengthen and improve my communication skills with my peers in a manner that felt had a practical purpose. Everyone that I had the opportunity of working with was incredibly helpful and willing to assist in my learning endeavors."

  • Junior, Eastern Washington University, Engineering 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."
