Pros

High intern pay compared to any auto company in Michigan, free milk and cereal

Cons

You're given a mentor, but for many you're on your own. The team really didn't have an idea of where I'd fit so it's been an uphill battle ever since. Yes I have learned a lot, but no one appreciates what you do, and little help is ever given when needed.
