Polo Ralph Lauren Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Polo Ralph Lauren as an intern for less than a year

Pros – Amazing company culture, beautiful office building, fun activities, good hours, PAID, and a perfect internship experience

Plus free M&Ms

Cons – The free M&Ms. I couldn't control myself!
Very few, but some interns do have it better than others. On some departments they are just glorified messengers, and on others they are treated as part of the team. Very few supervisors were bad though, it was just the tasks assigned were somewhat tedious (as in every internship, really)
