Pros

Amazing boss, flexible and undemanding schedule, relative freedom in choosing the articles you write about, constructive feedback and criticism, no experience needed

Cons

The internship is unpaid and, because it is exclusively written by college students, there are no paid (or unpaid) opportunities after college

Pros

Study Breaks is a great place to start for anyone working towards a career in writing. Although you need to pitch ideas for approval, you're mostly able to write about whatever you want. While I worked there, writers also participated in weekly feedback sessions with other interns, as well as one-on-one meetings with the editor-in-chief. You also receive notes from your editor for each article you submit. Basically, there's plenty of opportunities to receive constructive criticism and improve as a writer. Finally, the workload is fairly light, as you're only required to write one article and submit three pitches per week. For those in the middle of college classes, it's a good way to earn internship credits without adding too much work to your schedule.

Cons

Students looking for a paying job won't find anything here. Every position at Study Breaks is unpaid, and there's barely any opportunities for growth in the company. Working here isn't bad for a short-term internship, but don't expect anything more than that.
