Vantaggi
I was really excited for this internship experience. i enjoyed the company everyone was very nice and welcoming. I actually learned quite a lot and got great experience. This is probably because they make interns do all of their work haha. But regardless, I got great experience and was able to build a portfolio with it and actually gain some skills that have been useful in my current job. The company has many get together they all seem to get along great.
Svantaggi
I was initially really hoping it would have led to a position full time. I was actually told by the owner that he was going to offer me a full time job there just not until the new year which was a month away. I was very excited over this and told my family didn’t really apply for other jobs because I thought for sure this was going to work out. I kept following up and got no response after no response, which was very rude. I was also told that I could always reach out for a letter of recommendation which i did reach out as well and got no response. I was really disappointed to find out that they use a group of interns every semester to do their work but they can’t afford to pay anyone. I was actually offered a job there months later when someone had quit. Whether I had a job already or not, I would have never accepted it knowing how they had treated me and completely ghosted me once I was done being an intern for them. I found out that the salary was unbelievably low as well so i’m actually very grateful that I didn’t accept a job there.
