Pros

Decent pay for an internship Looks good on resumes - highly selective Free trip to St. Paul for internship kickoff Helps with developing sales techniques

Cons

Service work - you have to be "dressy" and yet are required to crawl under dishwashers and install things in foul-smelling kitchens and retirement homes... if you aren't good with hand-on things, this probably isn't the internship for you. Misleading - they call this a "sales" internship, yet most of your time is spent fixing dishwashers and soap dispensers. Car required - if you don't have a car, don't even think about being a territory sales manager intern with Ecolab. And, if you do have a car, be prepared to put a few thousand miles on it over the summer.

Pros

A job and make some money

Cons

Everything. You are on your own to sink or swim. If you have a family or a life outside of work you and kiss them goodbye because you will never see them again. You will drive 5 hour one way and work 9 hours in the hot sun with only a 30 minute lunch break and then drive 5 hours back home only to have to do it again the next day which is only a few more hours.
