Pros
You will learn about sales
Cons
This internship starts in Feb or March with door to door sales and then calling your leads during the week. They expect you to put in 20+hours every weekend as well as 6 hours during the school week in feb-may. They don't disclose all the time needed to put into the internship at first, and they held mandatory meeting on a Friday which many interns had to skip class for. You don't get any money during the spring at all, and when production starts in the summer they also don't disclose that your entire crew kit will come out of your future paychecks. It is July 14th 2021 and I, along with every other intern I've spoken with at the mandatory meetings, have not been paid anything. They say if you produce more, the more money you will make, well I've produced $45k and a friend of mine has produced $60k with nothing to show for it. You have to buy your own plastic for pre-78 homes out of pocket, which adds up to $200 per job. Their rules are ridiculous like everyone wearing hard hats at all times, including on inside jobs, and if you already own a stepladder you likely will get fined for using it because it's probably made of aluminum. They take out bonus reductions of $100 every time you violate one of their rules. They promised $4k to every intern and i think that is all most of us will get at max. They say you make 20% commission on your jobs, then why haven't I or any other interns made a dime by mid July? The time commitment is way too high for the amount of compensation, and the internship is not worth it. I've seen reviews that say only people who didn't finish don't like the program, but I am finishing and I've worked 50+ hours a week all summer, and I've spoken with other interns that feel the same way. You can be an extremely hard worker and a good salesman, and still not succeed. And you can be really good at managing your time and expenses and you still won't have the success they claim you will get. Do a different internship.
