Pros
This was my second internship in LA and it undeniably helped propel me to get one of the most coveted PR internships in the country after I was here.
The owner was very vocally supportive of my writing, which helped me gain confidence in a way that's hard to put into words. My headline here is true, I got my next internship because Lobeline was allowing me to draft pitches, gain media connections and do social management that a FT post-grad specialist would typically work on. That undeniably helped my career and I will forever be grateful for my time here because of it. Working here was the kickoff to what has allowed me access to A list companies post-grad.
If you're willing to put in the work here (it's a lot of cold pitching) -- it can pay off, but I would also say I was working a lot harder than other interns.
Cons
At the time I was an intern here, it was borderline full-time (25-30hrs/wk) and unpaid -- but it seems that has changed.
It's a small business (less than 50 ee), and office politics really swayed the owner's opinion of interns futures at the company (after reading the negative reviews here, I would say it's safe to assume that culture is still somewhat alive).
If you're too threatening to someone higher ranking, they'll boot you out of the office -- survivor style. You have some big personalities but if you stay pretty vanilla, I ran into no big issues -- but I also seldom spoke up when I disagreed with management because I was scolded for doing so once.
