Pros
I began the summer internship in May and it's scheduled as a 12-week program. So far I've been able to experience many aspects of the Insurance Industry. I've attended a presentation given by the claims department, shadowed the risk management department, attended a lecture given by the Underwriting VP and have scheduled activities with HR. So far I've really enjoyed learning about these different business functions that I haven't been taught in class. I've also been given a project that will last the duration of Summer and have learned a lot from my mentor. This project has involved incorporating new technology and has given me a lot of independence. If you don't like micro management and enjoy seeing your work pay off, this is the place for you!
Cons
There are no problems thus far.
