Receiving Support

May - August 2018 • Taylor, MI

What I liked

I liked the early hours because I was able to work and still have the rest of the day to get things done. The managers and everyone were very caring and wanted to give me as much help and experience as possible in different areas.

What I wish was different

I wish there were more opportunities to work extra hours every week. There were not that many hours to work each week.

Product Development Intern

June - July 2017 • New York City, NY

What I liked

I loved everyone that I worked with on my team, and I felt like I made an actual contribution to the product line my team was developing.

What I wish was different

I wish that there were more opportunities for me to interact with other interns to create substantial friendships for the future.

Advice

Be honest with your supervisor, and share that you are willing to do any work that will make an actual contribution to the product line. You rather be busy and have the day go by, rather than be given no work because your supervisor doesn't think you're that interested.

Store Management Intern

June - August 2017 • Plantation, FL

What I liked

I was constantly learning new things. The team welcomed me immediately and started treating me like an actual manager from day one. This internship encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone and expand my horizons professionally.

What I wish was different

I think the communication from Corporate to the stores definitely has room for improvement.

Advice

Don’t be afraid to take matters into your own hands. One of the reasons I was treated as an equal by the other executives is because I wasn’t afraid to make my own judgement calls and be confident in my decisions. It was really scary and intimidating at times, but by doing this it helped me develop myself as a professional and a leader.
