Pros

The work you do with students when you are able to be actually helpful and not just bloat numbers is rewarding.

Cons

The Leadership Institutes goal is to teach others about effective leadership, but its own leadership team exemplifies everything one should avoid. In my time at this organization, I witnessed a shocking level of ineptitude and a complete lack of regard for employees' well-being. What struck me the most was the culture of maliciousness that permeated the higher ups at the Institute. Rather than fostering a collaborative environment, employees were pitted against each other, encouraged to inform on one another, and even manipulate the truth to gain an advantage. The result? A toxic and distrustful atmosphere that stifled productivity, professional and personal growth. Leadership at The Leadership Institute mastered the art of deception. They shamelessly lied to their own employees, often promising opportunities for advancement or recognition that never materialized. It became evident that the only thing they truly cared about was maintaining their own power and influence, even if it meant sacrificing the well-being and professional development of their staff. In short, The Leadership Institute is a case study in how not to lead. Its toxic culture, manipulation of employees, and a penchant for dishonesty are clear indications of a deeply flawed organization. I would caution anyone considering involvement with this institute to think twice and seek out a genuinely supportive and ethical environment instead.

Pros

A lot of nice people to work with and some that are helpful and want to help you grow and succeed. So many people within the departments are easy to get along with and you can come to them for professional advice and you feel like you’re being treated as part of the family.

Cons

Although there is a ton of favoritism, especially with those that are the higher ups of the internship. They promise to treat you fairly, but they end up favoriting another and you can’t be truly honest with how you feel. Those in charge makes you feel like you can’t come to them for help. You are treated like a toddler and your stipend is so low that you will end up broke. My advice is to never go to this internship unless you want to be belittled
