Tell them you can’t afford the internship if they don’t pay you a base salary (like $8-10/hour + bonus, which is low for NYC).
Ask for the performance bonus percentage to be put in writing, too.
It’s not unheard of to see companies use interns for free labor. If something 's not in writing, don’t count on it.
Do you have alternative plans?
