Good experience to talk about, questionable if it was worth it.

Pros

This is definitely a resume builder and really helps you develop valuable career skills. Very hands on experience.

Cons

A lot of work and not a lot of pay. Do not expect to make a lot of money and expect this internship to consume your days. I liked the sales and marketing aspect of the internship but when it came to producing houses it was a disaster. I was under the impression that professional painters would be doing the actual project production, not me and random people with no experience. The training was SO limited and they really send you out with tools and one day of painting training and expect you to paint a whole house. At this point, the internship was no longer worth the stress of painting a huge project so I left. I felt like I was lying to my clients who expected professional work and in reality no one knew what they were really doing.
