Pros

Unfortunately this is a mandatory field but I have nothing positive to say about the company. Unfortunately this is a mandatory field but I have nothing positive to say about the company.

Cons

Where to start... - Completely ridiculous labour budgets that are responsible for most of the negative comments you'll read on this site. - Stupidly high expectations, made impossible by the labour restrictions and reinforced by the capitalist's standard 'you're replaceable' mentality. - You're given the illusion of control but actually have very little say in the way the business is run. I would never choose to run a restaurant this way and genuinely feel sorry for the staff and customers alike. - Management in the area constantly changing (esp Assistant Managers) because the pay and conditions you're made to work under are unbearable.

Cons

Narrow Focus: The role may focus heavily on a specific area of the market, such as consumer behavior or sales data, limiting exposure to broader market dynamics and other business functions. Routine Tasks: As an intern, you might be assigned more routine or repetitive tasks, such as data entry or basic report generation, which can be less stimulating.
