An entry-level job is a launchpad with bad coffee. Use it to see how the whole building works.

Tasks at the bottom are rarely the point of being there. What the position actually gives you is a free view of how money moves through the place, who decides things, and where the work gets stuck. Most people spend that time looking only at their own small square.
Ask someone in a different department to explain what their week looks like, and keep asking until you can draw the whole process. Learn one thing about the business that is not in your job description. That map is what you take with you when you leave.
What could you learn at work by simply paying attention?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
