Intern Here If You'd Like to Double as a Cleaning Lady - Anonymous employee J Public Relations Employee Review

This was by far the saddest excuse for a "mentorship" program (as outlined in the manual and job description) and it's beyond my comprehension how this company was rated as one of the top PR companies in the U.S. Not only did I improve my custodial skills by emptying trash cans, windexing glass doors, scrubbing down conference room tables and cleaning full-time employees' dishes they left in the sink because they weren't able to do it themselves, but I also got my 10,000 daily steps in going on countless coffee runs, dropping off personal gifts, going on quests for dog food, sending other peoples' personal mail and retrieving lunch for those employees who were working simply too hard and didn't have the time to fetch it for themselves (you know, all of the responsibilities to help successfully run a top organization). You'll also be given a mere $500 at the conclusion of your internship as a way of "thanking" you for your efforts - the $500 won't even begin to cover the costs of your commute to and from work, whether you take the subway, train or bus, so plan accordingly. It also amazes me how they can't afford to pay the interns at least minimum wage, spending thousands of dollars on interior decorators, flowers for the office (which you will have to spray down each day and discard of when they begin to slightly wilt), designer notepads and many Starbucks lattes. Overall, the JPR internship program was the epitome of the worst internship experience where you'll learn close to nothing about the PR world and more so about the employees' coffee and lunch preferences. Don't waste valuable time here unless you have a passion for cleaning.
