Pros

There's nothing I gained out of this internship.

Cons

Very unorganised and everything is all over the place. I was promised connections with important people in the industry, but it didn't happen. I taught everything myself without anyone's help in order to achieve the goals of the internship because they didn't provide specialists or at least people with experience in the field to teach me anything. Sandra turns her back on you instantly as soon as a disagreement occurs no matter how hard you worked for her. Horrible communication in serious situations. Ego so big that she'll choose to go through any measures that will make her win the argument (lie/ false accusations/ etc.) instead of having a civil conversation. I haven't met a single full time employee of hers except maybe one. The rest are all interns and we all know a company can't be run with inexperienced interns only. She chooses to do that because interns can be easily manipulated and we work for free. Make sure to have a screenshot of the duration of the internship or make them place it in the contract.

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.
