Don't ignore the Glassdoor reviews - Anonymous employee Earth Day Network Employee Review

Lots of real-world writing and research experience, and opportunities to focus on personal writing passions. Loved that I could do the internship remotely.

I do not have any cons.

The biggest pro for me working at EDO was they were very flexible on my working hours. I never felt scared to ask for time off if I needed it, and they were always accommodating. I did not interact with many staff members, but everyone I did was nice and helpful. They genuinely seemed to want to ensure I was happy with my internship and getting out of it what I wanted.

There is limited structure to the actual internship, which means it is up to the individual to make the most of the opportunities in front of them. For me I felt I was able to do that, but I know for many people that is a much harder challenge and may leave them feeling dissatisfied. All of my work was almost entirely independent, especially because the position is hybrid, which meant work did get monotonous at times. You can get college credit for it, but the internship is unpaid, which is less than ideal, especially if your college makes getting credit for internships difficult. Lastly, this is probably not going to be an internship that changes your life. It's a great first internship for an undergraduate student, as EDO hires a lot of students each semester which makes it fairly easy to get accepted, so it can boost a student's resume to get even more prestigious internships. On the flip side, that also means staff cannot get to know you that well, you feel kind of replaceable, and the experience you gain during your internship may not be super unique.
