Nice, Laid-Back Atmosphere, with - Illustration Intern Study Breaks Magazine Employee Review

Study Breaks is a great place to start for anyone working towards a career in writing. Although you need to pitch ideas for approval, you're mostly able to write about whatever you want. While I worked there, writers also participated in weekly feedback sessions with other interns, as well as one-on-one meetings with the editor-in-chief. You also receive notes from your editor for each article you submit. Basically, there's plenty of opportunities to receive constructive criticism and improve as a writer. Finally, the workload is fairly light, as you're only required to write one article and submit three pitches per week. For those in the middle of college classes, it's a good way to earn internship credits without adding too much work to your schedule.

Students looking for a paying job won't find anything here. Every position at Study Breaks is unpaid, and there's barely any opportunities for growth in the company. Working here isn't bad for a short-term internship, but don't expect anything more than that.

- Allows for flexible schedule - Supervisor was accommodating - Gained a lot of great feedback

- Some project deadlines are too soon to undertake - Not much communication between writers and illustrators *These were just the issues I experienced with my group*
