Pros

The best thing about RPM is the open culture and the structures they have in place to help people with personal improvement goals. RPM has really helped me nail down what I want out of a career, and has helped me start making significant strides toward being able to add huge value to any organization I work for. RPM only hires through their intern program so everyone on staff pretty much fits the culture of high-level achievement and personal improvement, which is really fun. During my internship RPM gave me the opportunity to interface with high-level business professionals including C-level executives and Private Equity fund managers. I was given any opportunity I asked for and thought I could handle, and my contributions made a real difference for the projects I worked on. A big highlight of the internship was when I helped develop a sales program that more than doubled the sales volume for our client. This program included everything from prospecting methods and sales scripts to hiring practices for the sales program. RPM certainly isn't for everyone, but if you are a high achiever, like to manage yourself instead of being micro-managed, and you like being proactive instead of reactive, then it would likely be a good fit for you. If you are looking to punch a clock and forget about work when you go home, then this would not be a good fit.

Kontras

There are a lot of growing pains since RPM has seen triple digit growth for the last three years straight. Sometimes patience is necessary as different systems are being developed and things are being smoothed out. Since things are moving so fast you sometimes have to be a squeaky wheel to make sure you get what you need. Some people can't handle that ambiguity very well, but anyone who is proactive gets the answers they need and just figures out the rest.

Pros

I understand that this internship is not for everyone, but I personally really appreciated the opportunity as a young student to be able to have the opportunity to do work that would actually be used. I also appreciated the emphasis on personal growth and the availability of help when I needed it, but allowing me to learn much simply by nature of the experience. Also great people to work with, most everyone is very bright, motivated and positive which makes for a great work environment. Also for me it was really nice that you only have 2 one hour meetings a week in the office and the rest of the time I could work anywhere this made it easier to manage my time.

Kontras

This is a startup company and naturally there is room for refinement. If you are looking for a perfected and refined experience look elsewhere, in some respects everyone is learning together(in some respects I feel this is the greatest benefit of this internship, learning to work innovatively, refining and developing processes).

Pros

I would really have to stretch to find some pros for working at RPM. I worked on 4 different projects and out of those 4 I really only enjoyed 1 of them. It was pretty interesting and we did some work that actually helped progress the company...the other 3 projects...not so much.

Kontras

I worked really hard for about 4.5 months for free cause they wont pay for the internship and was looking forward to being hired on so I could do some "real" work and get paid...but after all of that they made me an offer to work 60 hrs/week on 3 projects and were gonna pay me about $450 for the month. They mapped it out for me and if I would have stayed on I would have made about 24,000 in the first year, BUT ONLY AFTER WORKING 60hr weeks. So I had to decline.
