We are deeply concerned by this review. To the associate who shared it, we strongly encourage you to reach out to your HR Business Partner, Landon Langston, or any member of our HR leadership team. We’re here to listen and partner with you to identify solutions. We do not tolerate bullying as this goes completely against our Mutual Respect Policy. Our doors are open, and we hope to connect with you soon. To anyone reading this review, we want to address the statement that our internships are not paid, as this is incorrect. All our associates who accept an internship on another team or in a different department at our organization continue to be paid for their time. If any of our associates have questions about our internship opportunities, we invite you to reach out to your manager or HR business partner.
