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!
