As a company we value building a positive team and family spirit through professional and social events that will allow you to make meaningful connections with Zappos team members and leadership.
    And the perks! In addition to being paid an hourly rate, Zappos summer interns receive free food and drinks on our campus, access to social and community service events, 40 percent off on Zappos.com and may qualify for corporate housing and transition assistance.
