Employment status: former
Experience level: Junior

I completed an optional-unpaid internship at Deloitte in Greece in the HR department.
Pros: -Beneficial and interesting e-learnings for new hires and new trainees.
-A multinational company with good brand name.
Cons: -I was performing menial tasks such as to bring my manager's coffee or to carry on 5-6 laptops for the testing of applicants. 
-I was excluded from meetings, interviews, etc. 
-No career advancement, my potential advancement opportunities were unclear, so I talked to my manager about the possibilities of staying and I tried to show my willingness to give my best. However, I was asked to stay additionally 1.5 months for an extended unpaid internship with unclear possibilities. 
- It was clear that this company and especially this department, replace a position with unpaid internships (continues to recruit interns for 1.5-3 months without hiring them). The employer is making money off of the unpaid labor and is taking advantage of trainees services for the benefit of the company.
