Pros

1. Possibility to utilize the company's "networks" on Linked-in after jobs be done. 2. Your self-discipline will improve for you will need it to suck up the whole job. 3. You will witness the best business model of ZERO overhead: ALL of the employees are unpaid.

Cons

1. In short, this is a blood-sucking company disguised by Managing Director's entrepreneurial spirit. Don't be fooled. 2. It does not matter what the titles/positions are, unpaid interns are used as telemarketing tools, making phone calls for potential business opportunities (to the Managing Director, not you). 3. Unpaid is not an issue as long as it is a good learning environment. Unfortunately you will not find it here. 4. If you are in already, try to get out. Further, DON'T attend it's extracurricular events. Ppl there will ask you to spend big bucks on some self-improvement materials. 5. Be aware of some counter comments on the internet. Most of them are done by current poor unpaid interns, which is part of its "social marketing."

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 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 or have the right mindset to succeed. 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

Great way to gain experience in the Private Equity field and also to develop your professional skills in the office.

Cons

Unpaid internship and location of office is not great. General manager has no sensitivity to what he says to others.
