Avantages
The program was highly informative and offered a great extension of coursework given at the NC State College of Textiles. Offered a look into the corporate atmosphere in the Greensboro office as well as a look at the distribution and customer service centers. Gave a comprehensive look at the company and its operations. The executives were open to suggestions regarding marketing and development of retail and department stores. Opened many doors for future success with Polo.
Inconvénients
The program in its first year was a learning curve for both the two interns as well as those in charge of the program. The loose structure was both a pro and con as it gave the opportunity to be creative but at times it left us wondering what our goals were.
