I posted this on a similar thread earlier, it might be of help:


I think it depends on what line of work you want to get into once you graduate. Of course, a lot of people start at Enterprise because they don't really know what they want to do.

Your tasks will essentially be the same as an MT. I'd say it's unlike a typical office internship because you don't get all the bitch work thrown on you....but then again working at Enterprise is pretty much bitch work itself.

You'll make some money because you'll be working 50 hour weeks. On the plus side you'll generally get about one paid day off a week because you'll be going to training at the region headquarters. [This is the case in most areas.]

If you can get an internship with a "normal" company where you don't have to wash cars in 90 degree weather in a shirt and tie, then I'd say do that. While a lot of those companies (i.e. Merrill Lynch, etc.) don't pay their interns, it has value in its marketable experience. If you have an unpaid internship somewhere they will generally let your hours be flexible so that you can have a part time job to make money. That just depends on what your immediate money needs and spending habits are. Entry level recruiters value summer experience as one of the top criteria in candidates.

You will make some friends because everyone is so young and generally outoging, and Enterprise does set up a lot of events for its interns, largely to try to "hook you in" for the future. If you do get an internship with Enterprise, the experience will have value, but you must go in knowing that Enterprise is not the end-all, be-all of companies, despite what the higher-ups will tell you.
