Vantaggi

Svantaggi
-Accessibility of unpaid internship in NYC is extremely limited so you end up getting people from mostly very wealthy background -Sometimes it feels like interns are regarded as "second class citizens" and are not always recognized for the the work they contribute -Intern reviews are very generic not very constructive. Supervisors generally say that everyone is great which is frustrating for the people that go above and beyond expectations.
