      Pros

      - Great senior leaders to learn from - Ample classes - Great clients to work on - Mentor program - location

      Cons

      - Senior leaders were rarely around, and interns couldn't learn more than one "side" of PR. Focused mainly on account management and my interest was with media.

      Great Name, Poor Mid and Lower Level Management

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Looks great on resume. Provides amazing exposure to high profile clients (depending on assignment). If you play your cards right and are willing to put yourself out there, you can have access to some of the great thinkers in the PR industry today.

      Cons

      Edelman is definately a powerhouse PR firm, but the things that make it so great don't always permeate down to the mid and lower level management, making it hard to really learn and grow within the internship. Your experience is solely dependent on which account you are placed on and under which management. Embarrassing and uncomfortable lack of diversity, both in background and demographics. Very little feedback. NY office is not for the weak-minded--you have to be aggressive or you will be left out to dry.
