Pros

If you really can't find anything better to do during the summer then go for it. If you're trying to work in the non-profit sector maybe it would look alright on a resume.

Cons

They will literally hire anyone. If you have a pulse you will get hired. The only thing they want is for more people to spread the word for them, they're not actually interested in your individual work. The tasks are extremely uninteresting and you're working for no pay. They basically just hire thousands of intern-thirsty students around the country to all do the same tasks and the only thing you get out of it is an internship on your resume that nobody knows about

Pros

Interviewed with a woman who was super nice and polite! Mostly behavioral questions.

Cons

The internship itself had very repetitive tasks and didn't provide a lot of learning.
