Pros

The company makes a significant effort to promote learning for interns. They encouraged understanding of various levels of the work that was completed, from Search Engine Optimization to the publishing process.

Cons

As an intern, you don't get paid, and you are required to get school credit. When I was invited back to intern by my immediate supervisor from the previous supervisor, her editor came back to her and said she wanted someone with no previous internship experience.
