The AutoZone Internship Program cultivates the connections, skills, and mindset that result in professional opportunity… That is why I still work with them! This program made a significant difference to my growth and accelerated my career advancement. We were given responsibility for our work and visibility for our ideas. I came to AutoZone for the experience and stayed for the opportunity and investment they dedicate to their employees.

My internships have allowed me to strengthen both my analytical and soft skills. Throughout my time at AutoZone, I had demanding responsibilities that made a tangible impact on the company. This internship program allowed me to work in an environment that candidly listened to my ideas. The company is very supportive of all the interns and the program created a seamless transition from the classroom to the actual work life. I truly fell in love with the culture and people of AutoZone, and I am grateful for being given the opportunity to showcase my abilities in this program.

Category Manager – Merchandising
As a student, I learned a lot in my business classes, but it wasn’t until my AutoZone internship that I was able to see how my studies applied directly to the inner workings of a publicly-traded company. My internship allowed me to utilize my International Business and Spanish degrees in my day to day work. My experience also gave me the opportunity to network and learn cross-functionally. Not to mention, I made multiple friends and mentors along the way.

My internship experience here at AutoZone has exceeded my expectations! While here, I have been able to learn so much about each functional area of the business with shadow experiences and one-on-one sit downs with current AutoZoners. I am confident that the skills I learn here will be beneficial to me in my future career role. There is no limit to what you can learn while you are here and no boundaries to the opportunities you are exposed to.

Commercial Marketing Intern
This internship was absolutely incredible and I would highly recommend applying for the program. I am a marketing major and interned in the commercial marketing team. During my internship I was able to work in different aspects of marketing. This really helped me find what aspect of marketing I wanted to focus on in my studies. Besides working on a great team, I was able to do cross-functional work in different departments. This gave me the opportunity to see some other parts of the company. Everyone who I interned with was super friendly and we all felt like a family. Again, I am thankful that I was able to intern at such a great company.
