Pros

Like any start-up, 1776 asks a lot of it's employees...multiple #1 priorities, doing more with less, shifting timeframes, donning many hats, etc... To their credit, the 1776 team has risen to the challenge and created a vibrant, relevant and successful company. To management's credit, the team is treated with the utmost respect and is given the autonomy to make the critical decisions necessary to achieve their objectives. In addition I have been impressed with the grace, appreciation, good will and support that management has shown to team members who make the decision to pursue other interests when their time with the company comes to a close. This culture of loyalty to current and former employees fosters a sense of security and inspires commitment to the company's long term success. I am honored to play a small role in that pursuit.

Cons

Pros

Access to exciting events, learning about interesting companies, ample networking opportunities, and a unique line on a resume at a company that has grown substantially

Cons

Intern responsibilities and opportunities vary greatly by role, but "intern duties" like restocking the kitchen, getting drinks for guests, or delivering mail don't fit the criteria for legal unpaid internships. 1776 isn't a nonprofit, and interns aren't volunteers, so it's disheartening that a company whose brand focuses on social good takes advantage of unpaid labor. There may be opportunities to get meaningful education and experience out of the internship, but for some of the roles it's very unlikely. And with the amount of time required for typical "intern duties", there was little time to develop professionally. I worked 20 hours a week, but I have little to show for it.
