Executive Stores Intern

May - August 2017 • Tucson, AZ

What I liked

I liked that the internship was something new every day-- you go through a 10 week rotational program shadowing leaders in every department in the store. However, there was a lack of support from leadership to grow as an individual and develop as a leader within the company.

What I wish was different

I wish there had been more encouragement and effort from leaders to develop you as a future leader within the company.

Advice

Ask tons of questions, especially from team members. They know the store the most!

What I liked

They work with my school schedule.

What I wish was different

Working is hard to do when going to school. That is all there is to it.

Advice

Make sure they know that school is your priority, because they will work you as much as you let them. It can be good and it can be bad. You have to make time for yourself at some point.
