Pros
Casual Dress including visible tattoos and colored hair. Free snacks, catered lunches, awesome coffee, gifts from artists, and free activities around town. Awesome location near tons of restaurants for lunch. Dogs in the office. Flexible Vacation and the ability to work from home.
Cons
No opportunity to try new things. I asked constantly to do the social media for Shoppe (thought I'd be great at it since I've been working in the Shoppe side since I was an intern) but kept hearing "maybe later" "shoppe isn't ready" "no" only to see that someone who hasn't been there as long was now in charge of it. And even if you're in charge of a project, someone else is going to come in and take control only to phase you out. You really had to fight to be included on projects, even if they were your own. No room to move up. Ever. Whatever role you were put in, that was it. Favoritism. If you didn't "fit in" with the kind of brand they were trying to portray, life was hard. God forbid you like anything mainstream. The office was ridiculously clique-y. Layoff and departures weren't handled well. Laying off 1/2 the company at once is a surefire way for people to plan their next career move. If someone was leaving, they usually had to keep it hush-hush so it wouldn't worry the rest of the office. No structure for interns...we/they are kind of just thrown in there and sometimes given useless projects. I would advise interns to not even bother applying at this point.
