Pros

Met some really cool people. Got to go to the Kentucky Derby and Oaks and get paid for it. They had an entire buffet set up in the office for both days. Leading up to Derby an Oaks they had fun internal events that I could be a part of. My boss was a bit stern, but he was amazing and gave me a truly memorable experience. This internship will be ingrained in my mind as one of the coolest moments in my college career. It gave me great experience and looks absolutely wonderful on my resume. The other office workers were kind and welcoming, they provided me with a positive and encouraging work environment.

Cons

You will be very busy. Derby day and Oaks are very hectic and fast-paced.
