Mortgage Operations Intern
May - August 2019 • Detroit, MI
What I liked
The company culture and environment. It was very laid back yet still professional, and they emphasize that everyone has a voice and their ideas and opinions matter.
What I wish was different
In my team specifically there was not very many intern like projects since it was a production role. I wish this would've been different because I felt more like a temp than an intern.
Advice
I would say that with a job like this one, where you sit at a desk it is very easy to get bored but if you set little goals for yourself it makes it a lot more entertaining because you have a challenge. I would also talk to many people/employers on the phone everyday and it is important to not take things personal. You never know what kind of day someone is having, so if they are rude to you on the phone just be extra nice because maybe they are having a bad day.

Talent Development Intern
June - August 2019 • Detroit, MI
What I liked
I liked the autonomy of my internship. I had the opportunity to develop my own ideas into something the company and my team could use in the future. I also appreciated how often I was able to shadow people from other areas in the business. Quicken Loans has a great company culture that is very supportive of the people that work there. I truly enjoyed being part of the family atmosphere and getting to know so many incredible people.

Marketing Operations Intern
May - August 2019 • Detroit, MI
What I liked
QL puts on an AMAZING summer intern experience. Everyone loves the interns and treats them like they're team members and that they matter, not just interns. I had the opportunity to live in the city on Wayne's campus through QL and it was so much fun working and living in the city. It is a wonderful opportunity and opened huge doors for me!
What I wish was different
I wish that my team leader had been a little better at guiding me since most of the time I was making up the things I was working on myself. It was a real taste of the business world though!
Advice
Take on EVERY opportunity! Do not pass up anything. Come up with your own ideas and don't wait around to be told what to do. Talk to and network with as many people as possible. Ask TONS of questions and don't worry if people think your question is dumb. This is YOUR future we're talking about, so make the most of it!
