Pros
-Meaningful experience for those interested in retail or business -You receive the same training (although condensed) as an assistant manager trainee -High performers are give an opportunity to join the company as an assistant manager-in-training at the end of the internship. The job offer is extended for up to 1 year so you can finish your schooling -All expenses paid trip to Hoffman Estates, IL for an internship conference. You get to tour headquarters and meet the senior leadership team -Kmart is in the midst of a transformation... Great time to be working for SHC! -YOU OWN YOUR INTERNSHIP!! Get out and let your managers know what you want to do with it! -$15 per hour!
Cons
-Senior leadership is horribly out of touch with the stores... They MUST get out and see what is broken to help fix what it is wrong! -Company is focused on web experience, but customers want better stores! -Training for hourly associates is horrible and hourly staff is a revolving door -The project seemed more like "busy work" and not something they genuinely cared about (The project is handled by corporate, not the store staff)
