RUN FAR AWAY - Recensione dipendente - Executive Assistant presso Romeo Hunte New York

You will get to see the reality of what it’s like to work in the industry full on. Nothing is hidden or overglamorized. You have to be on point and serious about your craft because you will be expected to be knowledgeable on different aspects of production. However, anything you do not know will be shown to you. Very few people in the industry are willing to be as transparent with interns as Romeo is, and for that I am grateful.

Make sure your schedule is flexible enough to accommodate the work you’ll be doing. Because I had a more rigid schedule I often had work to take with me to be able to meet deadlines that at times could be difficult but I’m the end it was still a great learning experience.

besides networking with a couple people in the industry (even that he doesn’t want you to do because he feels as though ur taking resources from him) Meeting cool interns

This internship is completely unprofessional with zero pay. You’re expected to cover your own transportation, both there and back. They don’t care how you get there—as long as you are there, you’re on the clock for 9 hours a day with a 30-minute break, if you even get one. The minute you step away, Romeo starts complaining or calling you. He has a habit of calling at all hours—even once at 2 a.m. to get you to finish something, which is absolutely unacceptable. Beyond that, his behavior is extremely rude. If you ask any questions after receiving little to no explanation, he’ll roll his eyes, sigh loudly, and make snide remarks that make you feel worthless. He seems to expect you to read his mind, and his delusional attitude only adds to the frustration. Instead of treating us like interns—or even as part of a team—he treats us like his personal servants. The entire company seems to run solely off intern labor, with the brand manager being the only real employee. Even she is clearly frustrated with him. I’ve worked with about four brands, and without a doubt, this is the most unprofessional one I’ve encountered. Do not work here unless you’re desperate to boost your resume. It’s simply not worth the experience.
