“I have found that the company culture is very welcoming. Everyone wants to get to know you, help you out with anything you need, and I really appreciated that as an intern.”
JosieFormer Web & Marketing Intern, Hello West Michigan
“Some advice I'd give for newcomers interning at The Right Place are getting well acquainted with the email and calendar system so that you know what people are doing and when. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions, especially to your supervisors, in case you need direction or an understanding of the process; they can definitely help!”
