Global Procurement Intern
January - August 2017 • Findlay, OH
What I liked
I enjoyed how I was given real work and felt like the team I was working with really did need me
What I wish was different
I wish the location process was different, we are not told where we are staying until 45 days prior
Advice
Definitely come in with an open mind and ready to work, the tasks may seem difficult at first but you realize how much you've grown at the end of the internship

Business Operations Intern
June - August 2018 • Wilkesboro, NC
What I liked
The real-world experience, team projects, spending time with the other interns from all over the US
What I wish was different
I was promised that I would spend time with recruiting and that didn't happen; I also spent more time working in the store than was agreed upon- during the second half of my internship my DM wasn't very communicable and did not spend enough time with me- she just used me to fill in for her staffing issues
Advice
Do your own research going into an internship, be aware that some companies over glorify themselves, so don't be afraid to ask hard-hitting questions in order to make sure that you personally are a good fit
