The TJX Companies, Inc.: Student & Early In Career Programs

Digital Marketing Intern

June - August 2019 • Framingham, MA

What I liked

Everyone at the company is incredibly welcoming and willing to help and talk to you about your interests. The interns have events together, like ice cream socials, lunches, and trivia networking events. I was working with real world work such as managing TJX company Instagram accounts, assisting with media planning, and taking creative content for social platforms.

What I wish was different

You are placed in one department and do work in just that department (brand, digital, consumer insights etc), and it would have been nice to be able to experience different areas as part of the program. If you ever want to shadow someone however in another department, you could definitely do that on your own time if you asked your manager.

Advice

Do not be afraid to ask for more work. If you finish a task or assignment and are not sure what to do next, take initiative and ask the people on your floor. Chances are they need help on something and it shows that you are motivated!
