Gap Inc.

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.

Sales Representative

June - August 2018 • Deptford Township, NJ

What I liked

All the employees and mangers were very friendly and eager to help you learn the job.

What I wish was different

They could cater more to summer jobs for college students. I wish they had just kept me doing the basics like dressing room and shipment.

Advice

I think everyone should work in customer service at least once in order to understand the job and learn to work well with people as well as put up with difficult customers.
