Pinniped/Penguin Intern

January - May 2010 • Mystic, CT

What I liked

What I wish was different

Intern mill--staff burned out on constantly teaching new people, outdated/unsafe equipment (if available), manipulative tactics by management promoted a toxic intern and staff environment. Management checked out, had "it is what it is" mentality.

Advice

Although my experience was years ago, recent online reviews indicate the situation has not changed. Avoid at all costs.
