Retail Management
June - August 2023 • Chicago, IL
What I liked
I liked how I got to learn about different aspects/jobs in the store and being interactive with managing work, teamworks, finances, and some HR exposure as to hiring employees.
What I wish was different
The lack of interactions with other interns. Every intern has a different store they attend to but would have loved to connect with them at certain points and not until the end of the internship.
Advice
Definitely connect with your co-workers. They can give you a lot of support and don't be scared to ask questions! You are not the first nor last intern!

Honestly, I can't complain, my job is fairly easy and I love working with customers although sometimes there can be one or two patients that may annoy me the job itself is great.

It does get easier and things do get better after figuring how everything works.

Insurance Underwriting Intern
May - August 2023 • Hartford, CT
What I liked
Every single person walked in there with a smile on their face, and the company culture was amazing. Everyone was supportive and talked to the interns as if we had been working there forever.
What I wish was different
N/A: Everyone was very supportive, there was always help and guidance when you needed it, and the workload was enough but not overwhelming.
Advice
My biggest piece of advice is to talk to as many people as you can. Everyone there is willing and more than happy to talk about their journey throughout college and work, and the connections you make can come back to help you in the future even if you don't end up working with them. Talk to people!!

Retail Management Intern
June - August 2023 • Philadelphia, PA
What I liked
It was a really good experience to learn all about CVS and how to manage a store. It showed me my own personal leadership style and taught me a lot of valuable things that I wouldn't have gotten to learn in the classroom and was over all so beneficial.
What I wish was different
I wish I had more time with the company to potentially explore other aspects and looking at the growth opportunities for even a week where I could see the differences from corporate to store management.
Advice
Take charge of what you want to learn. They tailor the experience to you so much and you get out of it what you put into it.
