Retail Management Internship : Run a Branch, Build Your Career!

Are you a future manager, entrepreneur, or sales leader? Forget stocking shelves all summer. Our Retail Branch Management Internship throws you right into the heart of the business, giving you hands-on experience in leadership, sales strategy, and customer relationship management at one of our agricultural retail locations.

You'll work directly with the Branch Manager, learning exactly what it takes to run a successful, customer-focused enterprise from day one.

The Internship Challenge : Beyond the Counter

This isn't just a summer job; it's a deep dive into branch operations. You'll spend May through August on-site at our New Philadelphia or Lisbon, Ohio location, learning every facet of our retail business, from inventory flow to team coordination.

Your mission is to understand and improve :

  • Daily Operations : Mastering cash handling, inventory management, and store presentation.
  • Sales Strategy : Monitoring performance, implementing promotional campaigns, and analyzing sales reports.
  • Team Leadership : Contributing to scheduling, task coordination, and observing key managerial decision-making.

Essential Functions : What You'll Be Doing

  • Operational Control : Assist with day-to-day branch activities and ensure superior customer service, upholding our Core Values.
  • Merchandising & Sales : Collaborate with teams to execute in-store displays and promotions, and help track sales performance.
  • Data & Analysis : Analyze sales and operational data to spot opportunities for improved efficiency and profitability.
  • Compliance & Safety : Help maintain adherence to company policies and safety standards (including training related to agricultural products and chemicals).
  • Management Exposure : Observe and participate in decision-making, problem-solving, and conflict resolution alongside the Branch Manager.
  • Qualifications : Ready to Lead?

    Required Qualifications

  • Academic Standing : Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Retail Management, Marketing, or a related field.
  • Interest : Strong interest in retail operations, sales, and management.
  • Skills : Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Work Ethic : Proactive, organized, and eager to learn.
  • Software : Basic proficiency in the Microsoft Suite (Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint) or similar tools.
  • License : Valid driver's license with acceptable MVR (required for travel / site needs).
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience : Prior retail or customer service experience.
  • Leadership : Leadership or team coordination experience (e.g., student organizations, volunteer roles).
  • Mindset : Analytical mindset with attention to detail.
  • Physical & Environmental Factors

    This role is highly active and requires a professional, safety-conscious approach.

  • High Activity : Must be able to stand or walk for extended periods (up to 8 hours) and move quickly in a busy environment.
  • Physical Demands : Requires frequent reaching, bending, and lifting of merchandise or supplies up to 25–50 pounds and occasional climbing of ladders.
  • Chemical Exposure : Routine exposure to agricultural chemicals (pesticides, fertilizers, fuels) in the retail environment, requiring adherence to specific training and the use of PPE.
  • Terrain : Work may involve navigating unpredictable, uneven terrain outside the facility (e.g., in yard / storage areas).
