Operations Intern

May - August 2019 • Smyrna, GA

What I liked

I had exposure to the executive leadership team. I had visibility with the project that I worked on that will be implemented in stores soon. One of the best experiences out there. They paid for my housing and made sure that they help us network and learn where our interest were. My mentor Ali Jameson was the best thing to come out of the experience, honestly. Because of here I received a job offer.
