Reviews about "great people"
Return to all Reviews- 4.0May 29, 2014Anonymous InternCurrent Intern, less than 1 year
Pros
In my job, I learned a lot about the field and actual applications of marketing and advertising theory. The people I worked with were very friendly and everyone had an interesting background/stories to tell.
Cons
As an intern, compensation was nil, but the office culture was friendly and not stressful. It was a valuable office experience that maybe would have been made more pleasant by some kind of pay, but there's not much that can be done about that I guess.
- 5.0Aug 26, 2020Programs FacilitatorFormer Employee, less than 1 yearWashington, DC
Pros
You get to be around some of the most interesting artifacts from American history and some of the most interesting people from America's present. Every day you learn something and there are so many brilliant people on every level of the organization.
Cons
At least for my position, we were only granted a 30 minute lunch break and my hours feel exactly 0.5 short of giving me enough to receive benefits.
