Veterans United – “Great Internship Opportunity!”

Pros

I have had the opportunity to be able to see many different aspects of mortgage lending. Since I would like to enter this field after graduation, I will be ahead of the curb and have a greater understanding of how the system works as a whole.

The VAMC is very good about working around your schedule, whether it be in the summer or during the school year.

If you want to get the chance to work for a company that is very involved in helping out the community and the people it serves this is the place to be. There are many chances to get involved too.

The VAMC has tons of fun events, including a company golf tournament, picnic, bowling outing, Christmas party, and we recently had a night at the local comedy club in town. Everyone is a lot of fun to work with.

There are a lot of non-traditional perks that I was able to get in on including free catered lunches on Monday, massages on Fridays, and free drinks and snacks.

Cons

You really get thrown right into the mix. From the first day you're there the expectations are high. This can be a little nerve-wracking, but it really pushes you to make the most out of your internship experience. There is also always people there to help you out along the way.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the good work! With the rapid growth the company has and will continue to experience, efforts should be made to keep the company culture entact, as it is one of the strongest aspects of the VAMC.
