As someone who has heard horror stories before, held a previous internship, graduated from college & held a job - I would consider this internship a good learning experience.
I am a previous Gray and Rice intern, who stumbled across this posting, so I just had to quickly weigh in and be fair. (I ended up at Gray and Rice because I had been laid off. I was not there to earn college credits.)
The job description I was given during my interview matched up with the tasks I was assigned when I was an intern: researching tradeshows, editing podcasts, ...

I just want to make it abundantly clear that, as a previous intern at Gray and Rice, it is completely obvious that the rating below was written by the employees at Gray and Rice-- not the interns.

Basically, Gray and Rice tricks you in to becoming an unpaid telemarketer by advertising this internship as a PR internship, when really you end up working for their basically made up "sister company" called BestofTradeShow.com. You spend basically all day every day making cold calls to company presidents in an attempt to garner new business for Gray and Rice. Expect to get hung up on. often.

While I think the internship coordinator/Vice President means well, she is BEYOND disorganized and acts as though giving you a task other than making calls (i.e. doing something on Excel) is an absolute ...
