Arrow interns 2017Atlanta-based Arrow Exterminators’ summer internship program was designed to introduce students and recent graduates to all facets of the pest management industry, as well as corporate support roles within the company. This year’s program consisted of 13 interns who worked across a number of departments, including Customer Care, Marketing, Human Resources, Finance, Fleet and Safety and more.

“Hiring, training and retaining the best people is an integral part of Arrow’s vision,” says Shay Runion, chief human resources officer. “These young individuals have the opportunity to learn about our industry and the various career paths that are available, and further their educational and career planning goals. The interns spent two full days at Arrow’s National Training Center learning all about the unique culture at Arrow Exterminators and the industry before they received their department assignment based on their interests. This was Arrow’s seventh year providing this opportunity, and we could not have been happier with the talented group of young professionals. We hope to see them again next summer.”

“My experience at Arrow has been wonderful,” says Erika Vazquez, a current student at Georgia State University majoring in psychology and minoring in American Sign Language. “Everyone was so welcoming, and although I am an intern I feel like I am part of the Arrow Family. Working in the Customer Care Department has given me insight to how Arrow’s customers and team members communicate with each other.”

Two interns have since accepted full-time positions with Arrow. Michael Strickland Jr., a recent graduate of Georgia College in Business Management, started the intern program working in human resources with a focus on benefits. He is now in the risk management department as a corporate fleet coordinator.

Jasmine Brown, a recent Kennesaw State University graduate, interned at Arrow University, where she used her background in communication and videography. She is now a training videographer specialist with the company.
