Pros

Free lunch. Promotes a "family" environment. Friendly people. Arcade machines?

Cons

Never paid. I started out as a Creative Marketing Associate and became a door-to-door salesmen b/c they needed some sort of income. They had 1 paying customer despite claiming to have hundreds and you are expected to put in at least 40 hours even if they can't pay you. They promise so much and fall short of it every time. Everyone is disposable in management's eyes and they are extremely immature and unprofessional. Clearly, every other glowing review for this company was written with a watchful eye from management. We were all encouraged to write 5 star reviews while in the office very early on in the internship. During meetings with business investors, the CEO will claim that the company is worth billions of dollars (yes, billions) and the investors can see straight through that and they go running for the hills. No investment. Lastly, I will reiterate that you will not get paid. If you're looking for a company that values honesty and integrity, then steer clear of Bloomforth.

Pros

This is not a company - it is a family. I sit next to the founder and the CIO who constantly motivate me and make me feel important. They include me in their meetings, their discussions, and their events. The family environment that is present is the healthiest workplace you will ever find. The work is fun, challenging, and rewarding. I never find myself wondering why I work for free. Inside this business you will find the hardest working, ambitious, and determined workers in the world. They live for this company and I do not blame them. This is the best experience of my life and they have given me purpose in the workplace. This is a company that will have setbacks, but never fail. Love these people with my entire heart. There is no job I would rather have.

Cons

Sometimes I find myself lost in the job and do not want to leave.

Pros

Provided lunch (although not always healthy). Casual environment.

Cons

As an intern, you are unpaid. Generally, it is advised to not take unpaid internships unless you have no other choice (in this case, I broke this rule and turned down multiple paid offers from well known companies for the start-up "experience") and was severely disappointed. You'll end up being an unpaid salesperson not gaining any real skills. The paid employees don't seem to do much work, besides the product development team, and have to work extra jobs to pay the bills. Resist the temptation to work here and you'll thank me later. Also, do not be fooled by these other 5 star reviews - the reviews were written by inexperienced individuals who have yet to see what a truly rewarding work experience is.
