Pros:
I basically acted as a business/market analyst to support Kellogg's field sales team. There is a ton of data that goes into smart decision making around product sales, etc. I was absolutely shocked at the science behind merchandising/retail - absolutely fascinating and it's stuff that I never came close to learning in all my marketing classes. My boss taught me all the internal systems. What I loved the most about the internship is that I was able to proactively pitch different business ideas to increase profit - I was kind of expected to do this.
Cons:
Never got to go to HQs.
Advice for other students:
Know excel and math. Marketing is a ton more analytical that you think and it's important to understand stats.

Pros:
- Learned the ins and outs of Kellogg's/Target's relationship.

- Great boss and team. They took me out to eat all the time and were totally candid about the business.

Cons:
Would've liked to see more of the Kellogg operations instead of just the Target account.
Advice for other students:
Geez, I've got to say that both Target and Kellogg's are great companies to work for - post graduation, I'd like to be back on one of their teams.
