MADRE- Programs Department
Posted by willworkforaresumeline on March 4, 2009
Organization: MADRE
City: New York, NY
“Paid”- $10/day
I had a terrible experience working for MADRE. The organization is an established women’s human rights non-profit that works around the world. As an intern for the programs department, all I really did was do online research or translate from English to Spanish and vice versa. The thing I really hated about the experience was that no one spoke to me. My boss, Natalia Caruso, had no interest in me other than the work I produced and never even asked me what my major was at school. No one else in the office even bothered to introduce themselves. I was never invited to meetings or even to eat lunch with others. They simply shoved me in a dingy office by myself and gave me things to do. My boss was not very good at communicating what she wanted, and then acted annoyed when I asked clarifying questions. Perhaps my experience would have been different if I had worked in a different department, but stay away from Programs, people!!
