Pros

ATB truly is THE place to work! Here are some of my favorite parts of the summer: -flexible work hours and locations (telecommuting) -amazing culture! I never felt like 'just a summer student' while with ATB. They truly care about people and want to make your time as worthwhile as possible -learning opportunities to explore other areas of the organization to help you see where you might fit best -access to executives (not many summer students get to have lunch with the CEO!) -the capstone competition! Even though it was challenging at times to balance every day tasks with the capstone, it was very rewarding to solve an actual business problem. It pushed each of us to get our of our comfort zones, to connect with people throughout ATB, to work as a team to develop a realistic solution, and to practice presenting/pitching in front of our executives. It was a summer experience that I don't think you could get anywhere else! -the friendships! There were many opportunities to spend time with our fellow ATBers and we all developed some long-lasting relationships that go outside of work

Cons

The only cons I can think of are that the pay isn't outstanding and that students aren't necessarily put into positions in their field of study.

Thank you for your outstanding review, we love hearing about our post-secondary students’ experiences! The ATB 101 program is designed to challenge post-secondary students like yourself while ensuring you have meaningful accomplishments and real-world achievements to speak about at the end of your summer – experiences that you wouldn’t find anywhere else. We’re pleased that you were able to take advantage of these opportunities to grow professionally and personally during your time with us…and that you had fun doing it! While hiring for the ATB101 program we had the pleasure of meeting an abundance of talented and driven young people. In fact, we met so many shinning stars that sometimes we didn’t have any more positions in their field of study, but that didn’t stop us from seeing the value they had to add to ATB. In these cases we had open conversations with the candidates letting them know they wouldn’t be placed in their field of study but that we were still happy to bring them on board for the summer. As ATB101 continues to grow, we will look for ways to improve the experience to ensure that our students are getting the most out of this program. We hope that you were able to take advantage of our Connections strategy to meet with professionals from your field throughout the summer regardless of where you were placed in the organization. Thank you spending your summer with us and the best of luck to you as you continue down your promising career path!
