Pros

Expose to many aspects of marketing- photo shoots, advertisement design, product evaluation and choices, website redesign and management, and Grand Opening planning

Cons

In such a fast paced environment, training is sometimes overlooked and tasks such as data entry and mailroom duty can fall on the shoulders of the intern.

Pros

It's a cool store with a good market and will probably be growing a lot in the next few years. The work environment is pretty fun too.

Cons

-Terrible management choices, based on seniority, not on SKILL -Terrible scheduling practices (often I didn't know if I was working the next day until they told me, I actually MISSED an on call shift because they had finished the schedule late at night and hadn't told me I was supposed to work the very next morning.) -They used me to set up the store before the opening, the manager told me I was one of the strongest people there, and the week after the store opened they laid me off because they had overhired, and since the general manager was too "attached" to all of her employees, she was not willing to make the necessary cuts based on performance, so the district manager had to come in and cut people randomly (not at all based on performance), and yours truly, one of the "strongest" people was cut.
