Pros

Overland has a diverse range of products and solutions for data back up and retention. They have a number of talented people working there. Most of the people at Overland are great to work with.

Cons

Reduced compensation/benefits compared to similar industries No feedback on job performance, mentoring, encouragement, or training The vision comes from above down with the message "Get on the Train or Get Lost" Shuffling of roles and strategy in middle and upper management since 2008 that has staved off going out of business but hard on employee morale, opportunity, or promotion. First company I have worked that requires a careful consistent review of overtime, vacation/sick accrual, correct paid hours, etc.

Pros

there wasn't much of an interview process, what they cared more about was more about your own goals as an intern and things you want to learn so they can guide you and give you experience in what you want to learn. Not many employers are as chill, patient, and caring enough to give you tasks around what you want so I really suggest looking at prospective jobs you would want in the future and picking off their requirements description for skills that you are not proficient in and asking your boss to give you related tasks. It's a great place to slowly build up your experience into being an ideal candidate to any job you want to advance on to! - much of your work is updating social media and handling internal communications such as email updates and occasional engagement contests within the team - assisting keeping editorial and tradeshow calendar - helping update/edit excel worksheet tracking against project management software - helpful, understanding, lenient and overall very nice but small team of only 2-3 people - most of everyone is very happy to support you in whatever you need in future job search be it mentoring, resume review, interview prep! - good pay, flexible hours

Cons

- lots of downtime, you have to find ways to keep yourself busy - office consists of mainly older age group - no benefits for interns such as educational assistance, office snacks, etc. (which is expected) - they don't really have a structured internship program
