Marshal Weiglein

University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point,
Bachelor's in Finance
Supply Chain Finance Intern (June 2024-Present)

I was initially drawn to Brakebush because of their outstanding family values and their willingness to give back to the communities around them. Everyone from the top down treated me with the utmost respect and truly wanted me to achieve all of my goals and aspirations. I can't say enough positive things about Brakebush and everyone that was apart of my experience here. The opportunities have allowed me to grow and adapt to anything that comes my way.

Bachelor’s in Food Science & Technology
Operations Intern (2023)

Brakebush is a great company to be part of. They openly show their beliefs in faith and family, and that stood out to me. Throughout my internship, I realized how important people are. Without people there isn’t a Brakebush, and they believe that. I learned to connect with people on a deeper level and care about them and their well-being. My internship helped me with my people skills.

 

Bryan Enriquez

University of Wisconsin- La Crosse,
Bachelor's in Marketing & Finance
Marketing Intern (June 2024-Present)

I knew Brakebush was a very family-oriented place to be and had similar beliefs as myself. Knowing about Brakebush my entire life, I never heard anything negative about them. It was only great things to be talking about whenever Brakebush was brought up in any conversation. I am still with Brakebush today because everybody I work with is phenomenal and allow me to grow as an individual in the workplace and outside the workplace as well. I have had a great time here at Brakebush and only seeing it go up from here!

Bachelor's in Accounting & International Business
Accounting Intern (2021),
Staff Accountant (Dec 2021-Feb 2023),
Staff Accountant Supervisor (Feb 2023-Mar 2024)
Accounting Manager (Mar 2024-Present)

It was close to home, and the position gave me a chance to see the managerial side of accounting that I hadn’t experienced during my previous internships. The company culture is unlike any other I’ve experienced. People at all levels genuinely care about me and want to see me succeed and grow. Additionally, the company offers great benefits, especially the on-site health and wellness services.

UW-Stout, Bachelor of Science in
Food Systems and Technology
2003 Summer Internship

Over the past twenty years, I’ve grown with the company, and have developed as good of an understanding of our business and relationships as I have chicken, and today I am blessed to lead a team of twelve truly talented individuals in R&D and Culinary. I love what I do, or, as I tell anyone who will listen, I wouldn’t be here. I am still excited for work each day, and I truly appreciate the opportunities I have to mentor my team and help our company succeed. I feel like a truly valuable member of the Brakebush team, and I have the privilege of working with some awesome people. In short, the courage I had to muster up to ask for an internship has led into a rewarding lifelong career.
