Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

I was retired for years from my Corporate job. Decided that I wanted a part time job to get out of the house. This was my “Happy Place”. Never had a job that I loved so much. Worked hard, had the best customers (loyal) co workers. I learned so much about fashion and dressing different body types. I’ve been in different stores since I left as a customer buying myself clothes. Several ladies came up to me to ask how I am doing this! You’re wonderful at putting things together. I actually helped them put together wardrobes from what I learned. I felt an immense proudness working for RL. I still do. My managers were great and wouldn’t ask you to do anything they wouldn’t. Best of all is the discounts. After almost 5 years of working there, I realized it cost me money to work there. Lol. I’m a clothes nut. I never ever left a shift without a brown paper bag with a Polo Horse on it.

Cons

Some employees are very cut throat about individual sales. We were NOT on commission. Some employees just need to calm down and realize that we work as a team. Most do, but a few bad apples. Not much.
