General Management Summer Associate

June - August 2018 • Hartford, CT

What I liked

Great industry exposure and access to executive leadership, professioal development opportunities were fantastic, exceeded all of my expectations. They paid for housing, relocation, 401k matching, and put a lot of thought into your placement which was very evident in the roles everyone ended up in. The best part by far was my team and the position the company holds at the forefront of innovation in the industry.

What I wish was different

I wish there were better locations and more opportunities for a challenge.

Nothing, I learned a lot and feel comfortable reaching out to return next summer and pick up where I left off.

Acturial Intern

May 2017 • Walnut Creek, CA

They offered tons of training resources and real work to help benefit the company. They have a great rotational program and the internship is like an interview for the position and they let you know if they will make an offer about a month after the end of the internship.

I wish the office I worked in was smaller but it’s okay because I enjoyed being in California

Advice

Apply early and have at least 1 actuarial exam passed before applying

IT Summer Associate

June - August 2017 • Hartford, CT

What I liked

My team was friendly and accommodating in bringing me on board, and I was able to work on an interesting set of problems related to application health monitoring and data analysis. The program is quite large in Hartford, meaning that you'll get to interact with the other dozens of interns and form friendships.

What I wish was different

Hartford at times can be a bit slower and less exciting of a city.

Advice

Talk to as many superiors as you can, put time on their calendars and schedule one-on-one meetings.

General Management Intern

June - August 2019 • Phoenix, AZ

What I liked

I liked my day-to-day with the manager and team I was assigned. Phoenix was a great city to experience and the culture of Aetna there is great. The other associates you will meet are extremely supportive, and Aetna executives are more than willing to speak with interns.

What I wish was different

The overarching program I was in, General Management Summer Associate Program, did not have a lot of structure to it. Program director was a team of one, so lack of transparency with decisions, and very difficult to get feedback.

Advice

It is a great way to get your feet wet if you are interested in corporate health insurance, and the inner-workings of the executive level. Use the time you have in the summer to expand your network as much as possible - there are many networking opportunities

What I liked

I liked the job, though it is not a great area I like working in lower income areas, we get people not necessarily from different backgrounds just people that share the hardships of everyday life in Detroit.

I wish we had better help, we would be able to help the people much more.

What I liked

What I wish was different

The only thing I don't like amour working at a retail pharmacy is the inconsistency and looking hours. I work different shifts on different days. I can open at 8 or close at 9 it just depends.

Advice

As a pharmacy technician working at CVS can be stressful but also rewarding. I work in a fast paced environment promoting efficiency and multitasking. There are so many things I'm exposed to as far as dealing with customers, problem solving, and innovation.
