Companies that mandate in-store experience

[abraisnic]

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone knows of companies that put their employees on the 'front line' before working in the office.

For example, Telus new hires I believe work in the call centre before entering the office, and Starbucks office employees work as baristas initially to understand the in-store environment and job requirements.

Are there other companies that you know of that have similar practices?

Thanks - appreciate it!

I know enterprise does through their manager training program and from what I was able to understand at job fairs, so does abercrombie.
