Pros

Gives me an example of what a workplace should not look like.

Cons

Sandra is a horrible boss. Most of the company is interns and she treats them badly and like a full time job. I was starting with one other intern and she quit on the first day. When I started the job I was originally supposed to be for 3 days a week. She made me do work from Monday to Saturday from 9-5pm and bossed me around for all of it saying how bad I am and I am so slow. The days consisted of me sharing my screen to her on a design software and her telling me what to do. When I mess up, she will say that she could do it in half the time. She will also talk about her life and how she knows so many celebrities and everyone working with her knows less than her. This whole magazine is basically an online business for her - which she said she is not making a profit from. That’s why her whole team is unpaid interns!

Pros

I see all of the raving reviews that discredit Sandra as a professional. A lot of these reviews are based off of your personal feelings and not the true fact that she is well connected. She does have contacts that could lead to bigger opportunities. Sadly, the fashion industry is full of mentally deranged individuals, but their talent speaks for themselves. Sandra the editor in chief is not abusive she’s just blunt. A lot of interns seek validation, and come to the company with zero experience. She’s opening a door for you to gain not only exposure but FREE knowledge. LA, & NY are both seemingly competitive environments within the fashion world. You’ll get eaten alive if you’re complaining about a virtual internship that serves to build YOU. I think we can all see the difference between the hard workers who know how to swim versus the weak minded interns who sunk.

Cons

Time zone difference can be challenging but nevertheless it’s manageable.

Pros

Exactly Nothing. From a Nothing.

Cons

"Editor and Chief" uses "employees" for free labor. No direction, no training and no experienced leadership.
