Pros

Blackmore Partners is great place for people to start their business career. For most recent graduates, it is very hard for them to get a job. You can learn the business communication and behavior here, such as how to talk and email people professionally.

Cons

It is an Unpaid internship.

Thank you for your feedback. It is very clear you took advantage of this very well designed internship. Want to hear what the former President of Pepsi says about Blackmore and their business model? Go to the following YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsepnBlPT5U Our prgram was modeled after "Junior Achievement. You get out of it what you pout in. For those who got nothing out of it, likely they did not apply themselves. Since 2005, we estimate over 300 interns have gone through the program. The internship is a "training program" with clear and measurable written outcomes to develop those who cannot get a job in todays market. Blackmore is only for those who want to cannot get a paid position because they lack training and experience that they should have gotten in college. Those that complete the program gain measurable, repeatable skills valued by employers. You went to college so you could get a good paying job. You college did not deliver on that promise. The evidence is that after 4 years of college you were not employable, Your college took your money and did not deliver. In six months at Blackmore you build professional and communication skills that employers value and will pay. We deliver and we do not charge you. Perhaps we should? Also we are hiring: http://www.glassdoor.com/job-listing/ma-advisory-internship-private-equity-unpaid-6-month-JV_IC1128808_KO0,52_IE308034.htm?jl=1355930690&paoIdKey=MA==

Pros

Some of your coworkers are cool, that is it when it comes to Pros

Cons

Where to start? The management does not pay you, and does not inform you in that any no deals have been completed in over 5 years. This internship has not led to any useful experience gained and I consider it 5 months of my life I am never getting back. One interesting experience is in that the management will give you a 10-15 minute long lesson if you are 2-3 minutes late to the building. Hardly seems an efficient use of time. I have also never previously worked in an environment where management is so rude- repeatedly screaming at employees and swering at them.

The purpose of this internship is to build the skills and professionalism you will need moving forward in your career. Promptness is certainly something that is expected from all employers and is something that is agreed upon in the intern contract. We have human resources department to continue to bring order and to ensure a favorable work environment and prevent interactions that are considered inappropriate.

Consider you were scammed by your college. After four years of college you were not employable, they took your money and did not deliver. Your college did not have the respect for you and others of your generation to deliver what the market needs in an employee. In six months at Blackmore you build professional and communication skills that employers value and will pay you to come aboard.

Interns are not paid (this is a con but the company is very upfront about this at the time of interview or offer).
