Vantaggi
I was able to learn a few tricks, as an unpaid intern, however whenever I asked for help or seemed in awe of the amount of work they gave me without direction, the person I was interning for would get annoyed or even mad at me.
Svantaggi
Everyone is in one tiny, boiling hot room. The CEO loves to publicly yell at and humiliate her workers. They have more unpaid interns doing their work than actual employees. They definitely do not follow the legal requirements for an unpaid internship, which are: 1.The internship, even though it includes actual operation of the facilities of the employer, is similar to training which would be given in an educational environment. 2.The internship experience is for the benefit of the intern. 3. The intern does not displace regular employees, but works under close supervision of existing staff. 4. The employer that provides the training derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the intern; and on occasion its operations may actually be impeded. 5. The intern is not necessarily entitled to a job at the conclusion of the internship. 6. The employer and the intern understand that the intern is not entitled to wages for the time spent in the internship. The 7 or so employees that work there all have one or more interns, and they never want you to leave, just keep doing ridiculous amounts of work for free. They insist interns come in at least 3 days a week. Also, you must sign a contract on the first day saying that you won't put any of your work created there in your portfolio or else they will sue you... Highly don't recommend this place.
