Business Outlook
Pros
Got great exposure and opportunity to learn valuable skills for my career. HR manager was energetic, would allow you to lead something and not fear making mistakes as very supportive and quick to step in before something got out of hand. Although this was an unpaid internship, was given various opportunities for training, etc.
Cons
Difficulty in securing a permanent placement, and paid job with the company. Appeared to be this revolving door of internships and definitely the strategy was to hire interns, and didn't appear to be long term ambition of permanency. Also was younger and inexperienced, but looking back on some things such as making me drive down the country in my own car and not pay mileage was taking advantage.
