CLD PR

Horrible place to intern. My degree is in PR and I had to do an internship in my field and chose this one because it wasn’t too far and it said they were a responsive employer which is true they respond pretty quickly after submitting an application. First off, you won’t really learn anything about public relations. They have you basically doing chores all day. Putting clothes back, doing runs for rich people in far hard to find locations, literally taking out trash and cleaning up after them. It’s a joke. Don’t call this a PR internship if you don’t teach anyone about public relations….people that you work with are super rude and snotty, and seem to get frustrated when you ask for help or more details on what they want. I only stayed because it was a requirement by my school and I was in a pinch to finish the hours. That’s the only time I’d say to do it but other than that don’t waste your time and it’s hard work that you don’t get paid for. It’s an 8-hour shift and you can pick your schedule but they expect you to come in multiple times a week. Sorry I’m not privileged like most of the people here and have to work an actual job to make money to survive. They don’t seem to understand that. All in all, this is an internship that you imagine fashion internships to be, people who work here are rude to you and treat you as second class citizens, you do stupid irrelevant tasks, and you don’t get paid so if that’s something you enjoy then this is the place for you! 

I would say that if you are okay with working an 8 hour shift unpaid then go ahead and work here. From my experience working at CLD it has been okay. I will say that the work the interns do is the work that non of the paid staff wants to do. A typical CLD PR intern looks like this: you sign in at 10am and then get assigned to a staff member either on the media team, influencer team, events team, or celebrity team. Once you check in with the team member they tell you your task for the day which it could be finding influencers on instagram and logging it onto their spread sheet and that would be LITERALLY YOUR WHOLE TASK FOR THE DAY and the only time you talk to your assigned person would be at the beginning or end of shift. Another experience you could have would be to inventory clothes in which they give you a box of product and for the whole day you log and count all the product in that box into the computer and then hang up all the clothing. Another experience you could have is grabbing clothes from the show room brining it to the team member and then delivering that product to the stylist either at an offsite location. Another experience could be that you are printing and creating shipping labels and taping those labels on the packages and delivering the packages to the post office. THOSE ARE ALL THE TASKS AN INTERN DOES!!! WHICH IS ALL THE THINGS THE PAID STAFF DONT HAVE TIME AND YOU DO THAT FOR AN 8 HOUR UNPAID SHIFT. 

I would not recommend this internship to students looking for meaningful learning opportunities or professional development.

In my experience, the role consisted primarily of manual labor and event support tasks rather than actual internship responsibilities. Interns were expected to move heavy boxes, set up and break down events, work long shifts, and handle operational tasks that could have been performed by paid event staff.

What was most disappointing was the lack of mentorship, training, and educational value. I completed the internship without gaining significant industry knowledge, professional skills, or guidance that would justify the unpaid commitment. The position was advertised as an internship, but the day-to-day reality felt more like free labor.

Management and communication were also frustrating. Interns were expected to work hard and remain flexible, yet there was little recognition, support, or appreciation for their contributions.

If your goal is simply to gain hours or add experience to your résumé, this position may serve that purpose. However, if you are looking for an internship that provides mentorship, skill development, networking opportunities, or meaningful career growth, I would look elsewhere.

I’m not usually someone who writes reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience. I interned here and unfortunately had a very negative experience overall.

To start, the position was unpaid despite involving a significant amount of labor. There was little to no appreciation for the work being done, and the only real benefit was adding it to a résumé.

One of the most frustrating experiences was working for weeks, including weekends, under the promise that I would be able to attend an event. I went out of my way, commuting about an hour each day and paying for parking, only to be told the day of the event that I was no longer needed because they “had enough girls.” This same situation happened to others as well. I witnessed another girl who had driven all the way from Riverside be dismissed on the spot with no consideration or respect.

The environment felt unprofessional and unkind. Leadership, particularly the owner, came across as dismissive, and many team members contributed to a culture that felt harsh rather than supportive.

Overall, this experience showed me exactly what I would not want in a future workplace. I would not recommend this internship to anyone looking for a respectful, structured, or rewarding work environment.

YOU WONT BE LEARNING OR BE TAUGHT ANYTHING RELATED TO PR. keep this in mind, you’ll be doing a lot of work and you are not getting paid for it! you’re basically doing all the work the actual employees are not willing to do. This is what you’ll be doing: you’ll be assigned with a department which are influencer, social media, operations, events. you’ll be given tasks depending with who you’ll work with. expect to lift multiple heavy boxes throughout the entire day or sometimes you’ll be logged into a spreadsheet and spend 8 hours creating & printing shipping labels, counting hundreds of gifts for influencers, finding 200 brands for events with their emails, etc. very boring. ALSO SOME PEOPLE ARE SO DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH WHICH MAKES THE JOB EVEN WORSE!!! they really don’t care about you and make you feel very unappreciated. it’s still good to make connections and network. also they will make you run errands usually to ikea (closets one is in burbank) or to the post office. anyways i’m here just so it could look good on my resume. sometimes it’s fun tho. Area is horrible and parking is $4 each time you work there. $2 if you exit and come back. 

This company is built off the backs on interns, they have at least 30 interns at all times to do all the grunt work the ceo doesn’t want to pay people to do. You don’t learn much about pr here as it doesn’t seem any of the few (hourly) paid employees even know what they’re doing themselves. You have to pay for parking every day and they require you work a full 8 hours and you will get reprimanded if you’re caught leaving early. They also have the nerve to ask people to do deliveries with absolutely no pay back for the miles and the renter price for the parking garage. They do have great events and those are good experience aside from the fact that they’ll make you work 12 hours with absolutely no pay or even free lunch at least. Don’t intern here it’s terrible! You can do much better! 

Thought I was going into an opportunity to learn more about the PR industry. Instead spent several hours doing unpaid labor and observing the passive aggressive staff that used language behind each other’s backs. The other interns were very nice and well aware of the staff’s behavior, which was rather disappointing as they seemed to advertise a positive workspace on their job opening.
The only pros in the situation were that they provided water and lunch, but those are basic necessities for a group of 15-20 interns who are volunteering for 12 hours outdoors.
Would recommend looking into another internship, definitely not a good experience.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Exposure to brands involved in the event.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The majority of the work involved physically demanding tasks with little opportunity to learn.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment felt tense at times, and communication between staff came across as unfriendly.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Physical event setup including unloading trucks, moving boxes, and organizing products.

It was a good internship to learn about fashion and celebrity seeding. It was a good workplace to learn from, and even though we didn't do everything that the internship offered, it was still fun. Some of the hardest parts of the job were sometimes helping people if we had to help them find something that we didn't have. The most enjoyable part of the job was meeting stylists and influencers, and making new and great friends. The workplace culture was very relaxed.

This company is built off the backs of interns. You have to pay for parking everyday, but aren’t reimbursed. There are “no opportunities available” once your internship ends, yet people get fired or leave during your time there. A lot of petty drama and talking about people (mainly the CEO) behind their backs but smiling in faces. Some days the employees will bring in cupcakes, pizza, etc and not even acknowledge the interns around them. Majority of the time, the actual employees walk around to talk to one another and do little to no work.
