Pros

I understand that it's a hard work to make money in this fast paced world .....

Cons

I went in for a first and second interview and then was hired as an executive administrative assistant. I was super excited because I imagined assisting the executive directors in administrative matters. The interview questionnaires and the workers there were so vague I had no idea what I was getting to, but was promised a 125k yearly salary after advancing up in their office. I worked for 3 days and then just didn't go back because what I was required to do instead is cold sell Xfinity subscriptions ("lowering prices for new and existing customers") in Best Buys and Walmarts in the middle of nowhere, 45 minutes to an hour ride away from their office in Fremont. The training took part for about 40 minutes in one of their tiny rooms crammed with 25 people and music blasting. I have not received any payment for the 3 days I did work for them.

Pros

The moment I stepped foot into the office I was introduced to everyone and was made to feel extremely welcome. There was an open door policy in the company and because I was only there for a short internship, management were caring enough to tailor the job role for my degree and teach the skills that I was personally excited to learn. I've done internships before where I spent my time printing documents and bringing coffee, this felt like real life experience and really helped me develop my confidence and people skills.

Cons

Having to say goodbye and go back to college after I had made so many close friends.

Pros

The people generally seemed to be nice, supportive and friendly

Cons

Very little insight into the actual job during the hiring process. You are expected to dress business professional to stand in a Best Buy for 8 hours a day. Unfortunately they also don’t tell you that you need to meet at the office before and after your working hours so any commute time to the office in the morning and then to your job site and back are unpaid. They also did not tell me during the hiring process that you are also expected to work 6 days a week, Monday-Saturday for a an incredibly low daily base pay. Other than the already mentioned red flags, they also informed us on our first day that we would not receive our first paycheck for 3+ weeks.
