What I liked
Textron has a great company culture and people are very willing to help you out. I thought that many of my projects were meaningful and gave me great experience.
What I wish was different
Augusta isn't great but there is still plenty of resturaunts and bars.
Advice
Definitley work at Textron if you want to go into a supply chain related career, you can get exposure to the whole supply chain and the managers will let you shadow other functions if you wish to do so.

Integrated Supply Chain Intern
May - August 2017 • Augusta, GA
What I liked
My time at Textron was very rewarding. They taught me skills I never would have been able to learn in a more traditional business environment. I got to do a wide array of activities that enhanced my knowledge in various aspects of supply chain. Also, I like that upper management really takes the time to develop and hire interns and new hires.
What I wish was different
I would have liked to spend more time rotating through the different departments.
Advice
Keep an open mind and don't be afraid to reach out to people other than your assigned supervisor.

What I liked
The company has a very well-designed internship program. They help you get to know the other interns and make it easy to ask questions and reach out to people in other functions.
What I wish was different
I honestly had a very fulfilling internship experience and learned a lot. I can't think of anything I wish would have been different and I will be returning for a second internship next summer.
Advice
Make the most of your time. Ask questions and reach out to people if you want to learn more about their role within the company.
