Pros

This company always has positive atmosphere. People around I are super friendly and helpful. I learned a lot communication skills through the internship. I know how to leading a conversation, how to conduct public speaking, how to make an interview and how to training people. They taught me how to be a leader and how to be a good leader. This was the best internship I have ever had, because a lot skills I learned here can apply to daily life and will be helpful for my future. If you want to practice your English, this is a perfect job to practice English. When I just started, my English was not fluent. But with help of the coworkers and the job, my English improved a lot, and right now I am able to speak English fluently. If you want to learn Spanish, this is also a awesome place to pick up Spanish. I didn't know any words of Spanish when I began, but right now I know couple words and am able to say couple sentences.

Cons

the working schedule is different from most job. For me, I didn't have that much time to spend with family. However, this is all depends on people. If you are good at time management which the company will teach you, you are able to balance your work and life, you will work hard and play hard.

Pros

The people there are highly energetic and very friendly. And if you're a person who's shy, trying to break outta your shell, this will help you with that

Cons

The titles are Very misleading. I applied to be a Sales Consultant. Which is not even close to what I am. What I am and what everyone who works there is, is a door to door salesman. Don't even have a base salary everything is commission, so if you don't make a sale you don't get paid. The areas we go are awful mostly in Brooklyn. Either the projects or run down houses in bad neighborhoods to sell customers "Verizon FIOS" products. This place is a pyramid scheme with no benefits. You've been warned Job seekers. They'll tell you you can be rich but be aware. Stay Away!!

Pros

First reaction is full of a lot of brilliant, outgoing and supportive staff members! They really take time out of their schedules to meet with you and help you improve your marketing skills. There's also a high likelihood for promotion.

Cons

The job entails hours of door to door marketing in NYC which can be extremely frustrating . Also, there are some people who are clearly only there for themselves and arent sincere about helping you
