I liked the autonomy that the job offered for students that wanted to gain experience in the marketing industry. I was able to choose how much I wanted to learn and how far I wanted to take the job.
What I wish was different
The autonomy was difficult at first. It took me a couple weeks to adjust to doing work by myself.
Advice
Come into the job willing to learn more about the industry as well as consulting with people that are in higher positions than you are.
