Tory Burch

“While my overall employer was Tory Burch, I worked with her sport line, Tory Sport, which is only about four years old. Tory started Tory Sport basically from scratch a few years ago, so it is kind of a start up within the company. I got the experience of both what it is like to work for a small startup and a large company. Also, even though I was working in wholesale, the company is very welcoming and happy to meet with interns. I was able to meet with higher up people from the Tory Burch Foundation and the styling team, and I even spent numerous days on set working as a styling assistant. They also had a weekly speaker series for the interns where different teams presented what they do, ie merchandising, production, design, buying, marketing, etc., so we had the opportunity to see all aspects of the company and what it would be like to work in all of the departments. Finally, the work that I did was always meaningful, whether it was something that had to get done or it was helping me learn, so there was never busy work.”

“The flexibility, how helpful and kind all of the employees were, the Tory Burch Internship program in general which offered field trips and lectures from all departments, Friday summer hours”
