"Inside view of how the fast food industry creates menu items, loved it" Position: Product and Marketing Intern Location: Miami, FL Pay: $$15/hour Duration: 10 weeks Review posted on 6/9/2011

I gained real world experience: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree My boss treated me with respect: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree I enjoyed my fellow co-workers: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree The work I performed was interesting: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree I feel better positioned to gain a fulltime job: 1 2 3 4 5 Neutral "OK" Overall, I was satisfied with my internship: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree

Pros: I helped research and test Burger King's menu, which was quite fascinating. Worked across the brand (marketing) team and the product (food) team to coordinate new menu tests. Some of the work was organization in nature, but not bad - things like brainstorming product descriptions, revisions, formulating specifications, etc. It's amazing how much work and research goes into the introduction of a single menu item. Then you have to roll it out across stores with the same branding, crazy amount of work. It was very exciting and I learned a ton. Cons: I hope I can position this internship into an entry level role. The product side of the food industry is tough to break into. Advice for other students: Burger King is a great place to intern. Loved the people.

I'm both a business and culinary dork, so this internship was a dream job. - Worked a lot of new breakfast items. - Learned that in the QSR business, preparation simplicity is vital. Of course, so is taste :). - My boss was supportive and a great guy in general. Cons: Nothing. This is better than I expected and living in Miami isn't bad at all!

I gained real world experience: 1 2 3 4 5 Agree My boss treated me with respect: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree I enjoyed my fellow co-workers: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree The work I performed was interesting: 1 2 3 4 5 Agree I feel better positioned to gain a fulltime job: 1 2 3 4 5 Neutral "OK" Overall, I was satisfied with my internship: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree

"I felt like I was part of the team" Position: Intern, Corporate Communications Location: Miami, FL Pay: $16/hour Duration: 58 weeks Review posted on 6/10/2011

I gained real world experience: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree My boss treated me with respect: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree I enjoyed my fellow co-workers: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree The work I performed was interesting: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree I feel better positioned to gain a fulltime job: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree Overall, I was satisfied with my internship: 1 2 3 4 5 Strongly Agree

Pros: When I was an intern from May 2008 - July 2009, I felt like I was part of the team, not just an intern given administrative tasks. I gained real-world experience that I have taken with me to full-time jobs with other companies. The internship set me up to join the team full-time (I was an intern for a little over a year). The group of interns felt like a family, which was especially beneficial for those coming from out-of-state. Interns had luncheons with members of the global executive team to learn about their career paths, which gave us special access to speak with them. Advice for other students: Ask as many questions as you can and get involved in projects that interest you; it will show initiative and engagement in the business other than in just your immediate role.

Pros: - Worked on candidate experience when applying. Learned all abotu a typical ATS, screening, assessments, legal, etc. - Loved my other interns. - My manager was great to work for. She took the time to explain current practices and what she was trying to improve on. - Overall, BK is a great company. Cons: nothing. Advice for other students: I'd argue that the HR exposure I got at Burger King was more valuable than any most all other HR majors in my program that did consulting and generalist work.
