What was your intern like?

I was told by an ETL when I first started working for Spot that I couldn't be an intern because I was already working for the company. He said that the internship was a tool for recruiting outside talent. I decided to talk to my STL instead and show her that I wanted to continue my development with spot and that I felt like the internship was the best option. She made some calls and sent a few emails and then the whole process started.I want to be an intern and it really doesn't make sense that they would stop someone from being an intern because they're a TM. If anything, they WANT current employees. I'm a PA and the Sr. TL and ETL both told me they prefer current employees over newbies.
You won't see any interns until this summer and only if any were chosen for your store. Out of the 7 stores in my district only 2 stores were chosen.I've heard of interns in the past but haven't actually seen any yet
We have had at least 5 team members from my store become interns.I was told by an ETL when I first started working for Spot that I couldn't be an intern because I was already working for the company.

That sounds lyk a district manager and store that believes in internal promotions!! It was like pullin teeth and having to follow up on my own for me.We have had at least 5 team members from my store become interns.
So would you say I should go for the normal ETL program as opposed to the internship?That sounds lyk a district manager and store that believes in internal promotions!! It was like pullin teeth and having to follow up on my own for me.
I would say go for the internship because that's going to give you a lot of experience. But if the circumstances don't match up to where you can do it definitely apply for ETL the normal way.So would you say I should go for the normal ETL program as opposed to the internship?
