Pros
Networking opportunities from the people that Romeo has scammed into believing he is a professional. I recommend making your own contact list for whenever your time here is finished- if you choose to be a slave here.
Cons
• Romeo is desperate, and it reeks into how he “operates” his “business”. It’s very hard for him to give direction, feedback, and be consistent. He throws stuff at the wall essentially hoping it sticks, and won’t allow anyone with actual expertise to do their job. • Very underhanded and manipulative- Universities have banned his internship because it’s so horrible and he tried to throw a former intern under the bus to make up for it. • He says he doesn’t work well with Americans, only international students because they don’t expect to be paid. • He does not pay ANYONE, and if he does it’s not on time. My first week, the landlord came banging on the door demanding the rent…it was the 28th of the month. • THERE ARE NO EMPLOYEES. He SOLELY relies on (1) manager and a team of college interns to do the work for him, from Marketing, Sales, E-Commerce, Styling Pulls, HR, etc etc. Things that people get paid salaries to do! • He lies to universities telling them that he has 4 employees, which is not true. • He drinks on the clock, and often. • He will call you at ALL HOURS. Forget your scheduled time commitment, this is a 24/7 slave trade. Do not let the “clout” of being around cloud your judgement. Any real professional who deals with him does not like him, or appreciate how he handles business. You want to work under someone who is ACCOMPLISHED, not someone who’s 12 years in and still trying to make rent.
