Pros
This program was extremely rewarding and has put me ahead of my peers. I've learned how to handle myself both as a worker and as a boss. Most students aren't taught how to hire/fire other people, handle thousands of dollars in business, or balance their time to accommodate major responsibility. The people of Textbook will help teach you how to do all of these tasks and because of that I am able to talk about my personal experiences to recruiters of other companies. I definitely impressed a few of them because I was able to get a handful of offers from different companies I was interested in working for.
Cons
This job is a commitment and that being said you will benefit from it based on how much of yourself you put into it. It is at times uncomfortable because you will be dealing with situations you have never dealt with before. Stick with it and those situations will be second nature to you. There were times when I was put in situations where I couldn't get a hold of people to answer my questions, but by figuring it out on my own I definitely learned on the job.
