SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Macy's West hosts a split internship. The Internship is a 10-week program that runs mid-June to mid-August and is located in the SF Bay Area. It is a paid internship, 40 hours per week. Interns spend their first 5 weeks hosted by a group sales manager in one of our branch stores in the SF Bay Area and their second 5 weeks hosted by a buyer/assistant buyer in our offices in Downtown San Francisco. With the partnership of their host supervisors, the interns learn about how we run our business and continue to grow in a dynamic industry. The Interns are also assigned individual projects, where they have the opportunity to present research that they attain throughout the internship to executives in their stores and buying offices. For the 2008 Summer Internship Program, we are looking for candidates who have completed their Junior year and have one of the following graduation dates- December 2008 or May/June 2009.
