This internship differs hugely from others in that there are no more than 10 interns every summer. Many of these retail companies have hundreds of interns across the country where you are only learning from the store viewpoint.

-Absolutely no copying, coffe-getting, etc.
-$10/hour
-We were able to meet and talk with the CEO, not a opportunity an intern is often given
