Best Aspect: Working closely with everyone on live projects. I never hesitated asking someone for advice, help, or an impromptu tutorial.

Worst Aspect: You may run the risk of getting fat if you don't sign up for the Flyer Fitness Program or the Door to Door Organics Program because you encounter ice cream, baked goods and candy on a weekly basis.

Learned Skills: This is really dependent on what projects are given the "go-ahead" and how motivated you are to initiate/ contribute to projects.

Office Environment: The most fun office experience ever!!!

Radio flyer has the mantra "Work hard while playing hard". That has stuck with me during this entire internship. I have worked many hard hours, some of which were late (though that is when I tend to be the most productive) but I have played just as hard. I have met so many inspiring and talented people and it has been such a fun time hanging out with and learning from all of them both in and out of work.

Awesome internship. I was given important tasks that made markable contributions to the company projects. Radio Flyer cares about each intern and wants he/she to improve throughout the internship. The program is set up very well to produce a positive working environment great for gaining experience, making connections, and truly having fun at work.

This was by far the best internship I have had. I was challenged with many projects that encompassed multiple aspects of the Product Development process and had a great time along the way. Anyone looking for an internship that challenges you to do your best work and gives you great feedback throughout your time should seriously consider Radio Flyer.

The internship this summer was a great learning experience all around. I learned a lot about quality engineering and was able to have fun at the same time. Developing and testing toys for kids, you can't get much better than that. The attitude and culture at Radio Flyer definitely added to the overall internship experience. People were helpful and very friendly all of the time. Never once did I feel like I was less of value compared to all of the other full time employees. I would strongly recommend working for Radio Flyer because of its ...
