Pros

I got to work on actual projects that were delivered to in-house clients. I was given assignments that involved research and was required to implement ideas. During the internship, I was challenged and given meaningful work that provided the company with value. Leadership viewed me as an employee and not just an intern and valued my contributions. The management does not micro manage. There are expectations to be met and it is up to the employee to accomplish those tasks whether you come in at 7 am and leave at 3 pm or come in at 10 am and leave at 6.

Cons

The ice machine in the break room flooded frequently.

Very low pay and it's all about statistics, not people

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits if you actually make enough money to use them

Cons

The benefits offered are great but you can't afford to use them because your salary doesn't cover anything but bills (if that). HR doesn't care about people, only making sure they look good on sites like this one. You can make a lot less with an MBA or another advanced degree than someone who only has a high school degree. Not enough money to invest in savings, retirement, or any of their other plans. HR will lowball you as much as possible. You need an inside track or a friend who is in management to make a decent salary. The company has no problem spending money when they feel it is relevant, but are quick to plead poverty otherwise. They put up videos on YouTube for recruiting purposes but don't believe a word. It's all about statistics, not about investing in people.
