Pros

Working at College Works Painting is a "start it yourself" that is bound to work. You are assigned to a District Manager who has been through the internship before you and he/she is dedicated to your success. In fact, their success is directly dependent on your success. Excellent motivation and guidance.

Cons

There is the possibility that you can work your butt off in this internship and not see returns promised to you by management. However, the experience is worth it nonetheless.

Pros

They are no pros to working here.

Cons

These people are awful. Worked here 10 years ago and I still think about how bad it was. First off they manipulated me into taking the job and then when I got there I was feeling pretty paranoid and sketched out by their behavior. By the end of the first training they were openly picking on me because I wasn’t participating. From that point on I had lost any trust in the staff as they were making everything about me. Some kind of bullying campaign was being done against me. They were putting stuff in my food and water to mess with me. The second training the Vp was talking about how much he hated me using indirect terms. Such as “I hate PowerPoint” but he was referring to me. In hindsight I should have just left and quit but I guess I didn’t want to just let them win. In the end they quit on me and basically went against their company values such as relationships are everything (didn’t talk to me), results matter (less time focused on me would have gotten results) , and never give up ( I never quit but they did).
