Pros: I worked on some fixed asset accounting and financial statement analysis. Really enjoyed the detail and accounting work. A lot of what I did was fact check and coordination, but I didn’t mind. My managers were very helpful and walked me through the accounting issues that I had no clue about. Learned a ton more last summer than in the classroom. Cons: Nothing. Advice for other students: It’s not just the accounting, but the communication of the data to managers/teams that is important. Georgia Pacific is a great company to work for.

"Great exposure to tax, but definitely some detail work" Position: Tax Accounting Intern Location: Atlanta, GA Pay: $$16/hour Duration: 10 weeks Review posted on 5/26/2011

Pros: - Really enjoyed the meetings when we talked big picture of Georgia Pacific. It's amazing the tax work that goes into that place. Learning the big picture/strategy was enjoyable. - Managers explain tax principles. - Oh, I got to participate in a tax planning project which was a insightful experience. Cons: Tons of data entry, research, compiling documents, etc. But, that is tax. Advice for other students: Georgia Pacific is a great place to work. But make sure if you take the tax internship that you are into tax. After the internship, I don't think I want to go into just tax accounting.
