Pros
You're in New York City
Cons
First of all, kudos to JPR for sending in current employees as an attempt to bulk up positive ratings. Nicely played. I will say, I am genuinely concerned about the well-being of any person who has been through this "mentorship" program and rates it positively. Are you okay? Are they threatening to make you scrub the floors with a toothbrush if you don't do as they say? We may never know. In all honestly, every single intern I worked with dreaded coming into this office every day. Not one person enjoyed their time here. While some of the JPR girls were perfectly sweet and helpful, a vast majority treated interns like the help. We ran errands to Saks, took subways to fetch freshly chopped salads for their lunch, perfected our Windex and dish washing skills, took out the trash every day, and many other immensely beneficial activities all for the whopping sum of $0.00 per hour. We were a free cleaning and receptionist crew, and that was definitely one of the only ways our skills were utilized. I wouldn't waste your time here. There's absolutely no diversity, and they boast a sorority-esque atmosphere that ends up being exactly how you would expect that kind of work environment to be. There are plenty of other agencies in New York that will not only pay you for your time, but who will respect you and utilize your skills in a far more beneficial way than running errands and maid duty.
