Pros
It’s a great place to learn your skills, test out your degree, and build a resume.
Cons
People in the research department are very judgmental. I got constructive feedback as an intern, which of course was helpful. However, when I asked for help on how to get rehired and to look over my resume, they said that people at my university aren’t known for being the best applicant and that they only hire people from Case or U of M. It made me very confused for the longest time because I couldn’t afford to go to either of those universities. In the research facilities, they are non-diverse. They say that they have a lot of people from a lot of places working there, but it is mostly white or Asian. I didn’t see many any other people from different economic backgrounds besides privileged in positions of power either (running the research labs). This affects the ability to come up with different scientific research ideas and problem solving techniques! Parking as an intern stinks at the main campus. Parking as a full time employee at the main campus is expensive (you have to pay). As an intern, you get no benefits.
