Pros

Nothing really, pay was good

Cons

Honestly, I don't do bad reviews, but this has got to be one of the most frustrating things I've experienced in my life. The team is already in cliques when I joined, and they love hoarding information and not sharing with the rest of the new hires. They form opinions about you on the get go. I only found out about this after my manager started attending interviews with them and sat in the post-interview round table with these people, the manager was able to tell me what happened and how they form opinions based on people's looks, and gender to determine if we should hire them or not. The upper management even said something along the line of wanting more attractive girl interns instead of qualified guys. I was utterly shocked by this. They have no training whatsoever, yet they expect you to pick up things quickly. I was just a lowly intern but I gotta admit, one of the worst experiences I've had, and I got out of there as fast as I could. HR doesn't do anything but saying political correct things to cover their behinds, they are always on the managements side and never even listens to concerns from regular employees

It is disappointing to learn that your short time with us was “frustrating” instead of exhilarating as we intended for our Internship Program. For certain, having a diverse pool of candidates is a priority for us, but so is having the experience, knowledge, and ability to perform in the role. You are right, we do have high expectations of our interns and that is why we are never surprised when they rise to the occasion and excel in their roles and understanding. Managers must walk a fine line with Interns and knowledge share. They need to share enough so that Interns are challenged and can grow, but not enough that it is distracting or overwhelming for an employee who will be with us for such a short time. Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns. If you have any additional information to add please contact us at info@prinpack.com
