Pros

Everyone was passionate about their job and would always go above and beyond to accomplish the task ahead of time. Asking for help was easy, and everyone looked out for each other. It was possible to work with other departments and communicate effortlessly since everyone was either at the same location or a 30-mile drive away. A great place to work because all employees made that extra effort.

Cons

Busy, busy, busy. With multiple projects happening at once, the department definitely was understaffed and had its hands full. The manager was unfortunately too distracted at times to be able to listen and help employees within the department. Be prepared to be married to your work, with long hours and working weekends being the norm.

Advice to Management

Be sure to conduct review/improvement meetings with interns at the beginning, middle, and end of the intern work period to provide valuable feedback for improvement and constructive criticism.
