Has anyone ever done an internship and worked for free?
Or do you offer internships where you don't pay people for work, I have been recently looking for jobs and am astounded by the amount of people getting interns to work for free without even paying them the minimum wage.

THIS IS ILLEGAL**
In the profession I work in low pay comes with the territory but internships are part of this perpetuating cycle that no one seems to be able to break!
It also seems the more success the company the more likely they appear to abuse interns!
Just wanted other peoples opinions on this, it's really fcuked me off tonight!
