DO NOT APPLY HERE. As a recent graduate, I’ve been searching to find the right job for me. During this search, I came across this company. Big mistake. Absolutely the most unprofessional place I’ve been in… contact with. Poor grammar in every email they sent me gave me an initial bad impression, and then they stated they wanted me to come in for an interview in person. I declined, and asked if we could schedule a zoom call, because we are in the middle of an epidemic. 2 days later I got a reply stating only that the position was filled. I find this extremely unprofessional -

Joe and Kathy do great work and they really go the extra mile to afford staff with experiences and projects that can help develop resumes and portfolios. Very agile workplace that keeps you on your toes, but incredibly forgiving of mistakes. Always felt like my work was valued and that I had the support necessary to build whatever project I was assigned.

C&R marketing offers hands-on experience you just won't find anywhere else. I have so many great things to say about this place. If you want an opportunity to hone in on necessary skills to build a killer portfolio for your post-college experience, this is the place! C&R does not build interns to take on mediocre 9-5 jobs after they graduate. You can expect to be challenged. Apply here if you want experience moving through all realms of the marketing world. Any given day you can expect to face new challenges, new projects, new customers, and so many other facets of the marketing world that are

Worked at C&R for over a year while attending Michigan State University. Learned a lot and gained a ton of hands-on experience. Definitely a fun place to work if you're willing to work hard and keep an open mind!

They truly are a one-stop shop, having in-house print, digital marketing, video, web development and app development. They even have their own 1200 sq foot TV studio.

Trash. I am a real person and I really interned for Joe Ross. He pays $5/hour when MSU CAS pays minimum $8. He yells and is erratic. I am protecting myself by not putting a profile picture and using a pseudonym for a last name. Learn to treat the talent you take advantage of with respect, Joe. Shame on you.

This is an amazingly cool business, that is unlike any other marketing or public relations firm I have ever encountered. Joe and Kathy are amazingly kind and are unafraid to go for something even when it comes to trying new ideas. The business itself is in an amazingly cool building that Joe and Kathy restored to become part living space, part Office Space it is a model for how community-based commercial and residential interplay should work in cities.
