Intern

February - April 2017 • Niagara Falls, NY

What I liked

There is a lot of "coach to intern" touch bases and learning moments throughout the internship. Observing and learning from not only the general manager, but also the assistant managers and other leaders, really help shape and personalize the learning experience that better fits the understanding. Having conference calls with the other interns across the nation with guest speakers each week also makes this internship very special.

What I wish was different

I wish there was more hands-on time during the internship. A lot of the internship was reading and learning about the policies, but not much time was dedicated to really doing the role of a store leader until the final week - or until you receive an offer post-internship.

Advice

Always be taking notes and asking questions, especially during the conference calls! Guest speakers have so much wisdom and insight to the company from their own experiences, so do not hesitate to ask.

Brand Associate

June - July 2020 • La Jolla, CA

What I liked

I got to learn the basics of working retail including working the cash register, backroom stocking and customer service skills.

What I wish was different

I wish I would have set a more concrete schedule so I could have had time to do other things throughout the week. It felt like I was always working and at random times because it kept switching each week.

Advice

To never be afraid to go up to customers and offer assistance because most of the time they really value your opinion and are open to suggestions.

Inventory Management Analyst

June - August 2017 • San Francisco, CA

What I liked

Great, progressive atmosphere in terms of formality and work/life balance. People were always willing to lend a helping hand- they know the company is a prospect and you may just be working there soon.

What I wish was different

Transportation is pretty straightforward, but can be quite lengthy depending on where you stay. Not much to change here, just a reality. Workload could have been increased, but internships often face an issue with this, so nothing new.

Advice

Most of the work is done in excel, so be prepared for screen time. Don't be afraid to network with everyone, it will only benefit you.
