The Home Depot

• Lots of opportunities to learn.
• Friendly and helpful management and full-time staff.
• Interesting problem set.
• Company genuinely cares about their interns' experience and wants them to succeed beyond Home Depot as well.
• Free housing.

• Internship can be very team dependent; many interns are left without work or with meaningless work because their team/manager didn't care enough to help them.

• It's a gigantic company, so you should be prepared for a fair amount of bureaucracy.

Make sure managers really want their interns before you assign them. Worry less about the number of store associates you bring in as interns and more about the quality of work that you give the ones you do have.
