Many companies hire a lot of the people that have previously interned for them. There are a number of reasons for this but the main reasons are pretty obvious. 1) the intern already knows people in the company and can use them for references when applying for the job. 2) the intern has already learned (or at least been exposed to) the company culture and "lingo." 3) the company knows how (hard) the intern works, how the person reacts during certain situations, etc.
I would defintely suggest getting an internship at a company you think you would enjoy working for. If you get the internship position, you should consider the internship as a very long interview. They will be watching you constantly. Don't get caught up in office politics, etc. Work hard and be pleasant to everyone (even people you don't like), all the time. This is a chance for the company to get to know you, but it is also a chance for you to get to know the company. Perhaps after the internship you realize you don't like working there as much as you thought you would.
GOOD LUCK!!

From my own experience, a large company is more likely to hire a former intern than a small company (except if you are hired during your internship). Try to get an internship at a department that is allowed to take there own hiring decisions (or at least at a site with there own HR).
