Giant Eagle Internship & Company Overview
Giant Eagle owns and operates over 220 supermarkets. Giant Eagles is one of the largest, privately owned and family-operated companies in the nation with annual sales of over $8 billion.
Giant Eagle's internship program is the most direct pipeline to build a career with Giant Eagle while you’re still in school. We certainly hire people out of school who haven’t interned with us, but it’s an incredibly successful way to find new talent – spending 10 to 12 weeks with bright young candidates and showing them the ropes at Giant Eagle. We also hire a range of professionals out of college:
- Retail Operations Management
- Marketing
- Merchandising
- Supply Chain
- Accounting/Finance
- Human Resources
- Information Services
- Industrial Engineering
- Legal
- Pharmacy
- Distribution and Warehouse Management
- Risk Management/Safety
- Strategic Planning
- Internal Consulting
College students and MBA candidates are eligible for the internship program. Accounting internships require that applicants be junior level or higher in college. A G.P.A. of 3.0 is required. Graduates who have completed their degree within three months of the program start date may also be considered.
Approximately a third of those successfully completing their internship are offered fulltime positions, if available.

Pros:
I currently have three major projects for the summer. First, since Giant Eagle is a retail business, I am completing a retail rotation throughout my store in New Albany. As part of this rotation, I get to spend a day or two with the Manager (or "Leader" as we call them) of the various departments including Produce, Meat, Deli, Front End, Back Office, etc. to see how each department is run and what happens on a day-to-day basis. The idea is to utilize this rotation experience in the store to help with my second major project, which I am working on with several other interns at the corporate office in Pittsburgh. The goal of this team effort is to evaluate the impact of Giant Eagle's markdown process on known loss within the chain, as well as to suggest improvements to the process. Third, as an individual assignment from my Store Leader, I am comparing the sign package within my store to the signage within a local competitor. This involves many covert stealth missions.
Cons:
Would liked to have seen more stores and get a better understanding of the high level operational decisions.
Advice for other students:
Learn as much as you can at the internship. The retail strategy is very interesting.

Pros:
My store level projects over the summer were to dissect the P&L Statements and accordingly look for any recommendations for the future to help improve the profitability of the store, organize a team member appreciation cookout and to 5-S sections of the stores backroom to increase the efficiency of the team members in my location. I also have to complete a full retail rotation into every department in the store and GetGo, to learn the foundations of the store level.
The other interns and I also worked on a corporate level project. There were a few to choose from but mine asks to define the current successes and failures of the markdown process, specifically in the grocery department. This is a major threat to the profitability of the chain. While investigating the current process we were able to do a root cause analysis and come up with unique solution to Giant Eagle's main shrink problem.
Cons:
none
Advice for other students:
Loved the internship!
