Sales Internships at Nestlé Purina:
Developing the Skills and Knowledge Necessary for Growth

Nestlé Purina is an industry leader and learning organization, which seeks to create a challenging, stimulating environment in which sales internship associates can thrive. We not only provide a wide array of resources to help you grow both professionally and personally, but we also focus on finding a fit for associates in the innovative, collaborative culture at Nestlé Purina. If the following opportunity excites you, if it matches your career interests and if you are willing to make the effort to contribute to a high performing organization that raises the standards and expectations of its employees, this program may be the perfect fit.

The Sales Internship program is a 10-week program that will challenge you with varying tasks and projects. During this time, you will be given responsibility and ownership of your projects, in order to provide you with a deeper understanding of our Company and industry. These tasks are designed to help develop our entry level associates, as well as form a mutually rewarding internship at Nestlé Purina PetCare or at Nestlé Retail Operations Center. Based on the needs of the business and the opportunities available within the organization, successful internships may result in regular, full-time sales positions in retail sales, as well as future roles in business/category analysis, account management and leadership.
