Pros

An extremely laid-back office environment - almost entirely self-motivated; never once did anyone come in to check on me, so how much work you get done is really up to you - I assume this works for some people and not for others, but it worked for me! Everyone was friendly and supportive, and you really got to feel that you were doing good work.

Cons

Very little opportunity for advancement as an intern. But this is pretty standard. One woman who worked with me was EXCEPTIONALLY talented, and it was implied that she should come back - not sure whether she would have been paid, though!

Pros

- good company to have on resume - secure entry to office (they still get a lot of people harassing them because they're feminist, believe it or not) - located close to Rodeo Drive (if that's of interest to you) - free parking - they get a lot of review copies so you get an opportunity to read awesome feminist books - opportunity to attend amazing feminist events - opportunity to interview awesome women who are changing to society - if you devote yourself entirely to this internship, you could get a lot of published work and experience to add to your CV and maybe a professional reference

Cons

Although they try very hard to prove otherwise, I found this work environment to be the very epitome of White Feminism and the women who work there have no problem snapping at you. The magazine itself is AMAZING, the issue is with the experience of working at their Beverly Hills office. Yet I wouldn't say the cons are enough to stop someone from having your name be a part of such a remarkable publication...just don't go in expecting the office to be the intersectional feminist heaven you may be imagining.
