      Internship Review

      Intern
      Recommend
      CEO approval

      Pros

      The internship experience was overall very good. For one, the work hours had some flexibility. During the day, you get 30 minutes for lunch and two 15 minute breaks. In addition, the work environment is very low stress and there is no work to be done outside of the office. It is a friendly work environment. The pay was also very good for a temporary summer intern. If you return to the internship in subsequent summers, your salary grade is increased.

      Cons

      The only downsides to the job was that there was not too much challenge in the tasks given. Roles of the intern included the usual faxing, mailing, and basic administrative tasks.

      Keep looking unless you never want to move up.

      Pros

      Good health insurance (but you will pay a lot for your share of cost).

      Cons

      The only way to move up is to not ever have an opinion that contradicts the status quo, dress up in a very classic, plain business attire, kiss the arse of incompetent and disrespectful management.

      "NEED" a job?

      Pros

      The salary is of a journeyman CR after three years is at least 50k, and will grow via annual step grade increases, almost 99% of the time without regard to performance. If one wants an 8-4:30 job, with few professional challenges, and good "benefits." Dive in. You can use sick leave and vacation days at your discretion (except for major holidays). The vision and dental programs offered can be quite good. Advancement opportunities exist. Many in upper management are women. Many African-Americans, Asian-Americans, and Latinos/as are in management positions. Advancement for those who desire it, is available (provided one starts at the CR level, more difficult from lower levels i.e. Service Rep). Job security. Very few layoffs. That is my humble advice, and I wish you the best in all of your endeavors.

      Cons

      After a few years, you may become bored and frustrated b/c no matter the effort or ability, everyone is compensated the same. You may also find that if you stay for a long time, you have acquired no other professional skills attractive to future employers. Just work with the understanding of what that it is just a job. That's it. If you want more challenges, do not complain, just move on.
