Mortgage Banker

May - October 2018 • Detroit, MI

What I liked

Quicken Loans has an exellent work environment and the people who work there are great! They truly give you everything you need to be successful, from training to free slushies in the break rooms.

What I wish was different

The hours are brutal. I never worked less than 60 hours a week as a banker. Six or seven days a week was typical for this position.

Advice

Be honest with your self before taking a position as a banker. This is 100% a sales job you will need to talk to clients for hours every day and sell them on the largest financial transaction of their lives. You will hear 98% of the time and yes 2% of the time from clients. If you think you can thrive in that environment this job is a winning lottery ticket.

Treasury Operations Intern

May 2018 • Detroit, MI

What I liked

Fair pay, 40 hours/week, and good on-the-job training and experience. The work experience also helped further my knowledge of liquidity management and financial reporting, which are important Accounting and Finance concepts. The location in the heart of downtown Detroit provided access to scenic views and excellent lunch choices. They accommodated having class during the day, and worked with me building a schedule around that.

What I wish was different

When accepting the position, I was under the impression that the hours would be slightly more flexible to work with the demands of school. While they did a great job ensuring I would be able to attend the actual classes, the workload at times can be fairly demanding, and because I was given fairly important responsibilities, I was unable to take large chunks of time off to unwind or focus on academics.

Advice

I would absolutely recommend this position for somebody who is taking part-time classes, or as a summer internship if they are not taking Spring/Summer classes. A full-time class and work schedule is very strenuous.

Mortgage Banking sales

May - August 2019 • Detroit, MI

What I liked

I loved the opportunity of the program. Not only did I do my sales job, but the internship program allowed me to shadow other areas within the Rock Family of Companies, as well as attend fun events that familiarized the interns with the company, its leaders, and Detroit! I would not have traded my rewarding, fun, and learned experience.

What I wish was different

I wish I would have been paid more as a mortgage banking sales intern. We were speaking with real clients and doing work that full-time employees do. Not only that, but we were getting trained on the mortgage process and took classes that had exams. We studied, worked hard, had a busy schedule (in comparison to other interns); I wish our pay would have reflected that.

Advice

Try everything, do everything. The Rock Family of Companies internship program offers so many opportunities to be immersed into what being a full-time employee is like and it is up to you to learn about it all. I'm thankful I got to shadow and attend the internship events I could because it opened my eyes to all that Quicken Loans has going on, how they live out their "isms" as a company, and how they are defying the corporate lifestyle we know today. I would totally go back to QL if they would have me.

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.

What I wish was different

Advice

Dive right into an internship with Quicken! The possibilities of what you can create and contribute are endless, and everyone is extremely supportive. Don't be nervous, embrace what you know and be open to learning!

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!
