Business Leadership Development Intern

May - August 2018 • Macon, GA

What I liked

The internship was awesome. We had actual meaningful work within the company while learning about all the aspects within the insurance industry while developing my personal leadership skills and creating great relationships.

What I wish was different

Their was a lot of competition between each of the regional buildings in Macon throughout the internship, that shouldn't have really been necessary.

Advice

This is a great internship that shows you how a large corporation works separately, while all benefiting the greater whole of the company. I had so much fun and feel that I benefited personally and professionally from this opportunity while solving actual problems the company was facing.

Pros: Great Mentor ship if you are looking for opportunities for personal growth, transparent leadership, access to the staff in the entire building so you can reach out to anyone in order to get more information for an area that you are interested in whether that be professional development or career opportunities.

Advice

If you choose to work intern here, make sure you dont stress yourself out. It could be intimidating to present your projects to the Regional Vice Presidents and other officers but just know all feedback is good feedback and it is an opportunity to learn and grow. Make sure you reach out to people who you think can help you further your career whether it be at GEICO or somewhere else. Everyone is willing to help you.

Nothing honestly

What I liked

What I wish was different

Working remotely due to covid made it more difficult to reach out to management for quick assistance and I prefer the in person contact that we had leading up to March. It helps me stay focused and motivated.

June - August 2019 • Richardson, TX

What I liked

The internship was very helpful in determining whether or not you would be a good fit for GEICO. In addition, the internship did not just involve "manual labor," but creative problem-solving on different problems facing GEICO. We presented our recommendations to the Senior VP of the Dallas Office.
