Rocket Companies

Business Consultant

May 2018 • Detroit, MI

What I liked

Very independent and able to take ownership of own work.

What I wish was different

Seems very fake as far as internships go. It's like they are putting on a show for interns and it's not really what work should be about.

Advice

Take full advantage of learning the business. Shadow every area and make it known what your goals are.

Mortgage Banking Sales Development Intern

May - August 2018 • Detroit, MI

What I liked

I truly enjoyed everything about working at Quicken this summer. They have an amazing internship program where I was able to perform meaningful daily work that actually contributed to company revenue. I gained a unmeasurable amount of development of my professional and sales skills. I was able to network with high level professionals and learn from them. This internship has fully prepared me to start my career here. I truly enjoyed the amazing culture at Quicken and cannot wait to return.

What I wish was different

The internship at QL was so great that my only complaint is that I wish I had more time to do more here.

Advice

My advice would be to truly buy into the process and culture here. I tried for the first month of my internship to resist this but this is truly an amazing environment to be in that allows for major positive development both professionally and personally. Quicken Loans provides amazing training that I am so grateful for and is a place with amazing resources if you take advantage of them.

Instructional Design Intern

May - August 2018 • Detroit, MI

What I liked

During my internship, I was pushed out of my comfort zone. I was able to network and gain experience in a variety of different facets of the company.

What I wish was different

Honestly, I would not have changed anything about my experience.

Advice

For future interns, make sure that you be your own advocate. Your experience is all that you make of it so make yourself useful. Volunteer yourself for jobs or projects you wouldn't normally do. Lead team bondings, help other team members, and shadow other team members in different business areas.

Purchase Communications Intern

May - August 2017 • Detroit, MI

What I liked

I loved being able to attend all meetings with my leader and really get an inside look at what was going on. I loved that I was encouraged to speak up at any time with any ideas or input I may have. Quicken also did a great job of giving the interns a sense of community and planned lots of intern events which was great.

What I wish was different

I wish I had been able to work on more projects. I enjoyed the projects I was assigned but I feel like I could have done more.

Advice

Never hesitate to ask for something to do. Don't ever let yourself be bored, speak up.

Mortgage Banking Intern

May - August 2017 • Detroit, MI

What I liked

The autonomy . The culture was great, but it is not for everyone.

I wish there would have been more structure. I was asked to complete very minute tasks and I was upset on a daily basis.

Business Analyst Intern

June - August 2018 • Detroit, MI

What I liked

The team that I worked with this summer was motivated and truly loved their job and the company they were representing. My mentor who showed me the ropes this summer was amazing and has become a close friend of mine even after the internship ended. Working downtown Detroit, which is so close to my home gave me the big city feel and there were so many cool opportunities around my office. I got to see how Quicken was making such a big difference in my community and how much good they were doing for Detroit.

What I wish was different

I wish that I could have been there longer, the experiences I gained from QL were all so helpful. I use the techniques I learned in class today and am able to carry that on into my future career.

Advice

Shadow other parts of the business, be outgoing and meet new people! Everyone from Quicken is so willing to teach and answer your questions so don't be afraid to ask!

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.
