Arrow Exterminators Summer Intern Class of 2015

Summer Interns Learn About the Pest Control Industry

Atlanta-based Arrow Exterminators is pleased to announce the conclusion of another successful summer internship program.  The Arrow Exterminators summer intern class of 2015 consisted of twelve interns, who were introduced to all facets of the pest control industry as well as corporate support roles within the company.  With a wide variety of backgrounds, our interns worked across a number of business departments including Human Resources, Marketing, Training, Customer Care, Sales and more. Opportunities flourish in our industry and these young individuals are learning it from the inside.

“Hiring, training and retaining the best people is an integral part of our Vision,” said Shay Runion, Chief Human Resources Officer.  “Our internship program is designed to provide opportunities to learn about our industry and the various career paths that are available as well as helping to meet educational and career planning goals.  Our interns spend two full days learning all about the unique culture at Arrow Exterminators as well as about the industry before they receive their department assignment based on their interests. This was Arrow’s fourth year providing the internship program and we are thrilled to have hired two of the interns as full time team members.”

Parker Geiger an incoming junior at Auburn University said, “Interning at Arrow has given me the opportunity to learn so much more about the Human Resources field than I would ever learn in a classroom.  I have developed a multitude of skills and have a much greater concept of what to expect after college.  I had a great experience at Arrow Exterminators and I can’t wait to return next summer!”

Myra Smith, now a full time Special Ops team member said, “Coming into this internship, I didn’t know what to expect.  I was surprised by all of the opportunities I was provided with as the summer progressed and how much I enjoyed myself.  I’m glad I was given the opportunity to participate in the internship because I am now a full time team member with the Special Ops Department here at Arrow!”

Blake Juberg an incoming junior at LaGrange Collegesaid, “Arrow’s Internship Program provides a platform for interns to extensively explore and learn about the pest control industry while getting unmatched, hands-on experience.  My internship with Arrow’s Marketing Department has been extremely valuable to my success as a business student, and I am glad to have had the opportunity.”

Runion went on to say, “Our commitment to training and professional career development through Arrow University cannot be understated.  We understand the tremendous value of investing in these talented individuals at a young age.  They get to see what a dynamic industry we all work in and will hopefully choose to begin their careers with us when they are ready.”
