Business Outlook

Pros

Nice Place to Work Good pay for an intern Office is nice and clean and the people are very respectable

Cons

Worked there during the summer, they said it was slow I didn't think it would be slow there would literally be no work for an intern. Interned there for 2 months and only did about 8 hours of real work. First years didn't have any work to do either. Intern program was a mess. No one knew where we were supposed to go, they had no plan for us and just sent us where ever someone had an empty seat at the client.
