Thank you for your feedback. 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 Where your career goes following your internship often reflects the amount of effort the intern put in during the program. Interns that fully commit themselves for six months and make useful connections transition to roles with investment banks, private equity groups, etc. Our program was modeled after "Junior Achievement. You get out of it what you put in. If you got nothing out of it, likely you did not apply yourself. 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. Those that complete the program gain measurable, repeatable skills valued by employers. 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. 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

Met some good people and had a fun work environment. The only downside is the lack of compensation, but you should know that when you are applying. Overall, it is a good resume builder because you do handle things that most interns would not at large firms but don't hold your breath for a deal to close while you're there.

Cons

Cons would be the lack of compensation and the location of the office. You're stuck paying your own transportation while you are working there and occasionally get lunch bought by the boss.
