“I joined as an Intern because I knew I would get a good experience in an industry that is extremely important to everyday functions in businesses across the country. I wanted to stay and join the company full time because of the work environment. My coworkers are a huge reason why I enjoy coming to work every day. Also, there is something new to learn every day in this industry, I find that exciting. My internship prepared me for the professional world and showed me what to expect after I graduated from college. I was treated like a full time employee when I interned so I was able to get the full experience. “

About the Program
G.R.O.W
GIVE BACK
True to our core value, Civic Responsibility, we are partnered with many local community organizations and take every chance to give back. We offer many opportunities for employees to get involved, including packing meals for underprivileged students, collecting cans for Thanksgiving, and purchasing Christmas presents for children in the community. During the summer, we provide a special emphasis on giving back with our interns and dedicate a day to volunteer at the Salvation Army.
REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE
Jarrett is not a place where interns will fetch coffee and make copies. Our interns work alongside our full-time employees and contribute real results to real customers each day. Interns will come away with real world experience working for a growth-minded company.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR GROWTH
Our GROW internship kickstarts a career at Jarrett. Just like we promote from within, we hire our interns on full-time upon graduation whenever possible. Interns who prove themselves in their intern roles have the opportunity to grow within their existing department as well as transitioning to other departments of interest.
WELLNESS-FOCUSED ENVIRONMENT
Interns receive the 50% discount at Jarrett Fitness Facilities, Zephyrs Fitness and CrossFit Orrville. Each summer, we also host an intern-only CrossFit workout! In addition, interns can work out on their lunch breaks along with our full-time employees and enjoy standing desks to remain fit while at their desks. We also offer wellness seminars throughout the year to provide wellness education.

“I began my career for Jarrett’s in the PackShip warehouse and a year later I joined as an Operations Intern in the Summer of 2018, working in the PackShip retail. The friendliness and welcoming community I experienced brought me back the following year and put Jarrett’s on my list of potential employers after graduating college this past May. My experience as an intern at Jarrett’s taught me numerous transferrable skills and provided me with many connections that will accompany me for the rest of my career.”
