Pros

Mostly fun, snacks, drink cart.

Cons

Really only good if you're non-POC, growth is nearly impossible for anyone. I could count the number of POC that worked in the office on my hand. Had a racist manager that masked their disdain for me as "bad at my job". HR was no help either, was complicit in the racism and actively protected the racist manager. Their system of reviews is massively flawed, used development plans to boot out employees of color. Now Viacom was to look at how those development plans disproportionately affected employees of color and how that led to their termination; good effort but they need to go back about 10 years and retroactively fix those mistakes.

Pros

Great office community and wonderful experience to learn about television production. Mixed bag of tasks— don't expect to be hands-on in the production itself. Mostly served as office support and an extra set of hands.

Cons

Decent amount of downtime with no tasks — sitting around and socializing with the other interns. Hardly a con, but would've loved to get my hands dirty even more.
