Hello,
I just started an internship at this marketing company. The shifts are only from 9:30am-7:30pm. We can't choose the time or anything. But we get to choose the days we go in. However, we must be in at least 3 times a week. This internship is not easy either. We are required to go to the low income areas to give out free phones and tablets to qualifying citizens (government benefits). The internship is based on commission. You give out 3 phones in the 10 hours, you make $37.50, 6 phones $75, 8 phones would be $100 and 10 phones would be $125. The company does not cover your food or transportation expense. It's honestly exhausting. What was really upsetting was when the system crashed and none of the qualifying citizens were able to get the phones or tablets, we were not informed. We thought it was an “us issue”. We never got any compensation for wasting our time. Another thing upsetting is when they text you ever Sunday to join an meeting. I had made it very clear that I did not want to mix my personal life with my professional life. It's honestly frustrating.
