Pros

There was great camaraderie with the staff of writers. Your work gets published online, which is great for your resume.

Cons

False mission statement being sold. They want to empower "women that do," but do not give their staff of writers, who are all women, the tools they need to succeed. Management has a, "I'm doing you a favor" mindset and expects writers to churn out unrealistic amounts of content with no constructive feedback, beneficial edits or decent pay. (I believe they pay below minimum wage.) Aside from lack of real editing, there is no leadership or professional writers to look up to and ask for advice. They have a sweatshop-like mentality that is focused on getting out as much mediocre content as possible. It is definitely quantity over quality. The buttons might be in the wrong places and seams might be crooked, but the shirts fit... sort of.

It's a Scam

Pros

The location is in a pretty building but the structure of how they run this is horrible.

Cons

Jennifer is a horrible boss. She uses the students as a writing mill and is more concerned about how much they are producing than the quantity. She has lied to employees as well as students. The point of this whole operation is to get investors by using big-name guests.

Pros

The staff is amazing- very understanding, available, communicative and open. In theory, Entity Magazine along with Entity Academy should work and if the staff alone ran the program, it could be successful.

Cons

It's a writing workshop. The internship program is a complete exploitation of the interns/new writer. The CEO is unstable, emotional, ungrateful and rude to her staff. She is rarely available to the staff and to the interns and is rarely aware of what's going on. Moreover, she yells and insults her staff. While staff tries to deliver quality work, the CEO chooses quantity of articles over quantity. There is little integrity behind the content of Entity Magazine, the interns are taken advantage of, the staff is overworked and unnoticed and the CEO seems to use Entity Academy to show off to friends and colleagues.
