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.

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).
