Pros

I worked at Kmart for 30 years, until I retired. I saw many changes in policy and management. Through it all, I was treated fairly.

Cons

Dealing with the customer base.

Pros

The Kmart internship allows you to oversee all the aspects of running a store. By the time I was finished with the 3-month internship I had a firm gasp of the different departments and knew how the store ran on a daily basis. In addition, I had an opportunity to fly out to Chicago to visit their headquarters. It was an incredible, all-expense paid trip to speak with top executives at the Sears Holding Corporation and mingle with other interns all around the U.S. Overall I enjoyed being an intern for the summer.

Cons

One of the disadvantages is that I was placed in a primarily all spanish speaking environment and unfortunately I did not speak spanish. In addition, during the entire internship you are required to wear business professional to business casual clothing which is a little overdressed compared to the other Kmart employees and customers.
