Peoria is not a thriving town. But, it is what it is. You're kind of in the middle of nowhere. There is a casion boat on the river that was fun...

Overall, good place to intern. Huge intern class, so it's fun to get to know the other students/interns.

Pros:

I think what really seperated Catepillar is in the intern work. My projects were incredibly interesting. Here is a list of projects I worked on:
- Produced customer testimonial videos.
- EPA compliance.
- New product launch marketing plan.
- Social media recommendation project. I was able to present this to supervisors.

Cons:

None, incredible.

Advice for other students:

In the interview process for an internship, don't be afraid to ask what the actual day-to-day work will be like.
