Pros

Great working environment (work from home usually 1-2 days a week).

Great on the CV (references carry a lot of weight).

Exposure and experience are invaluable.

Money is very competitive against other internships.

Cons

Performance reviews need an overhaul. They are extremely political and often the biggest ass-kissers got the most rewards with HR.

Advice to Management

The development of Industrial Trainees could be analyzed better with more numeric, periodic performance reviews. For example, a weekly performance tracker of 10 areas and ranking.
