What I liked
If you want real, meaningful experience in design, then this is the internship for you. Interns get a ton of opportunity to work on major projects and even bring their own ideas to the table. You will also get treated like a normal worker and rarely will the job feel like just an 'internship'.
So far I've been able to work on packaging, POP displays, newsletters, ecommerce/digital graphics, and more. I've also been spending any down time learning new video editing software in order to bring those skills to our team. My most recent project was making a video graphic that will be displayed in our Chicago showroom!
In addition to the great experience, the people are extremely friendly and outgoing at Moen. Everyone loves what they do and you don't really get any negative vibes from anyone which makes the days enjoyable. Currently, most people work from home (my team goes in office once a week) but the communication is still really strong and it makes working remotely feel less disconnected. Teams also usually have offsite events every few months, which can be really fun! My team so far has done an escape room, volunteered at a beach clean up, and is planning on going to Top Golf for an outing soon. All these events are paid for by the company and you get your normal hourly pay for attending.
And that brings me to the last thing, which is that the pay is great! You get paid by your academic year (goes by credit hours) and its a flat rate for every intern regardless of their field. This makes it one of the better paying design internships in the area. You will also get paid on holidays among other benefits!
