Pros:
I did an 11-week internship in Promotions Planning and Strategy (part of the Marketing department) at Verizon Wireless in Basking Ridge, NJ. I spent the first week just getting familiar with the industry terms, learning about Verizon’s phones, and figuring out the building! Verizon’s headquarters is huge – it’s actually 7 buildings combined into one giant behemoth – so it takes awhile to find your way around, but they have a great cafeteria, gym, and dry cleaning service.
My first project, which took several weeks, was analyzing the success of past promotions and developing best practices going forward. I worked with our Reporting team to get all of the data, built Excel models, and analyzed the results. My next project was to look at the competitive landscape and research their past promotions and upcoming devices. Finally, I synthesized all of this knowledge and helped to develop the Q4/Holiday promotions strategy with my manager. I even had the chance to present to our VP, which was really exciting and great exposure to senior management.
Cons:
My background is in video games, so making the switch to telecommunications was actually quite challenging at first.
Advice for other students:
One of the best parts of the internship was networking with interns from other schools. Verizon does a great job of planning fun and informative events for the interns, so that you not only work hard, but have a good time too.

Pros:
Learned about sales, understanding the marketing and sales cycle, and how to sell. Somewhat painful at times, but great experience.
Cons:
Calling a lot can get boring.
Advice for other students:
If you like sales, this is a great opportunity. The managers are pretty good at showing you the ropes.

Pros:
- Verizon put me through and I passed compliance exams/courses.
- Made 3 presentations to executives on media recommendations.
- Opportunity to create Verizon press releases and try to get them places into publications. Loved this.
- Very supportive boss. She gave me the perfect amount of help and freedom.
- I really enjoyed the strategy side of how to craft a release and then the research on how to get it picked up. PR is a fast paced, strategic world. It's definitely what I want to do after graduation.
Cons:
I did have to work on resolving some customer complaints, which was intense (customers can be mean/angry).
Advice for other students:
Take advantage of the opportunity that Verizon gives to you. Don't just sit around.
