Entry 3
The office I work in is mainly sales, so it is always active there. There are people on their headset pacing back and forth as they talk to a client or potential client, and a million voices talking at once as everyone makes their calls. I come in at nine in the morning twice a week and one noon once a week. Whenever I get in at nine the office is pretty full and often times the bell is being rung announcing a sale was made. The dress code ranges from formal to casual for example, t-shirt and jeans. You’ll see people in dresses, nice pants with a button-down shirt and then those in a t-shirt, both are okay.
The work space is filled with tables usually containing 3 seats next to each other. I am not sure if they are still trying to work out the best seating or if it is just their thing, but every so often they move all the employees to sit in different locations around the office. I sit at a table with other interns, so it is nice that I have gotten to know them. They have coffee, fruit, candy, and cold drinks available which is nice.
Every Monday there is a meeting for the entire office where they discuss things that need to be done, achievements, goals and take questions. The interns are invited to join and listen. It is a nice experience to see where they were, where they have reached, and how far they have to go etc. It is great doing the work that I am familiar with and then seeing what everyone else in the office is working on as well.
