THE MERCHANTS COMMITMENT
Continuous Improvement
At Merchants we value excellence, integrity and continuous improvement in all that we do. We encourage our interns to take every opportunity to ask questions and learn from mistakes.
My team has always supported me by being there for me whenever I need them – by answering questions and providing constructive feedback.
Surpassing Expectations
Merchants strives to deliver a first-class experience by surpassing expectations. While we encourage interns to do their best, and exceed expectations – Merchants also aspires to do the same.
I did not expect the level of involvement that I got. I honestly believed I was going to be doing busy work.
Positivity And Collaboration
Merchants values a positive and collaborative workplace culture, and we look for interns that help curate such culture through trust, loyalty and respect. Merchants associates frequently work on cross-departmental projects, which allows interns to attain well-rounded knowledge.
I absolutely feel included in my department. There’s so many things that I’ve been trusted with, even as just the intern.
Learning, Involvement And The Pursuit Of Opportunities
We encourage all interns to get involved and take initiative, which means actively pursuing opportunities that excite you. Interns have the opportunity to take on unfamiliar tasks and projects that will impact and elevate your skillsets.
I get to work with other departments, and collaborate with the HR department or the Marketing department to reach out beyond my basic skillset and to really learn to work with others.
Balance
Merchants cultivates an environment that allows associates to strike a work-life balance. We know the important of balancing the needs of the company, our associates and their families.
Merchants’ 37.5 hour flexible work weeks are incredibly helpful in maintaining my life outside of work.
Supporting Our Communities
Merchants values giving back to the community and encourages interns to participate in Merchants’ community outreach projects. Employees are allowed one work day a year to volunteer for a cause of their choice.
Merchants definitely tries to be philanthropic in the communities that we serve. Even us as interns are allowed an entire workday to volunteer.
Celebrate And Have Fun
While Merchants values hard work and tenacity, we also value taking time away from work to have fun and celebrate your efforts.
Merchants definitely values social activity between employees, there are a lot of scheduled events that allow us to step away from work during the week.
