Huntington Bank

Marketing operations intern

May 2018 - April 2019 • Columbus, OH

What I liked

Had the ability to showcase our summer end project to the executive leadership and the CEO. The opportunity to connect with many different areas. Learning more analytical and creative tools that have been applicable and helpful within my transition to full time. Employees were always helpful and I walked away with mentors and wisdom for my future career.

What I wish was different

I had taken advantage of more of the opportunities I was exposed to.

Advice

Take it very serious and be willing to go above the ask. The simple task are nice and great for basic learning, but get more in-depth knowledge on how they use the systems.

Communications Intern

May - August 2018 • Columbus, OH

What I liked

The culture of the company was really good. Everyone was friendly and was wiling to work with each other. They also would let me work on a lot of cool projects, which was amazing.

What I wish was different

I wish I had the opportunity to work on more creative projects. While I was on several creative pieces, I felt the corporate world was less risky than another sector of communication that would interest me. I'm not sure this is anything on the company's part though, and more is just the sector of the company.

Advice

To other interns, don't say no to things. Take chances and volunteer for something that you aren't too sure about, because you will surprise yourself and learn more!

Quantitative Risk Intern

June - August 2021 • Columbus, OH

What I liked

I did meaningful work for my department and the bank. There was no stereotypical intern "busy work." The workplace culture is very good; everyone is willing to listen and help. There were lots of opportunities to learn about different aspects of the business and to network with people higher up.

What I wish was different

I would've preferred not having to do projects with the other interns. It took too much time away from my other responsibilities.

Advice

Be willing to work, and to be challenged!

University Relations & Talent Acquisition Intern

June 2020 • Detroit, MI

What I liked

I worked on meaningful projects that were important to the success of my team. There were many opportunities for collaboration where I was able to share ideas, meet leadership, and participate as though I was a year round team member. I was also invited to sit in on many meetings that helped me understand the role of talent acquisition and the many ways my team supports the bank.

Don't let your nerves stop you from jumping right in! Sharing your ideas as an intern can be scary, but taking initiative and being creative is valued at TCF Bank.

Tax Intern

June - August 2020 • Minnetonka, MN

What I liked

This internship exposes you to many areas of corporate tax. I gained a great amount of experience and knowledge relating to corporate tax. Working with the tax team is outstanding. TCF as a company makes it clear that they value my time and my lively hood. The interns get to interact with high-level management and the internship program and the company highly value their interns.

What I wish was different

This internship was done remotely due to Covid-19. It would have been an even better experience to be on site meeting the team face to face and getting to know them. This was not an option, but the remote experience was still phenomenal.

Advice

Do not be afraid to ask when you need help with something or don't know something. Even if you feel it is a basic question, the tax team is always open and happy to help you out!

Internal Auditor Intern

January 2018 • Midland, MI

What I liked

The opportunity and real life experience has been very helpful. My manager has been very hands on working with me to understand the process. With my book knowledge and limited real world experience, this manager has patiently explained the way in which things differ from textbook understanding.

What I wish was different

My internship was extended twice, but was informed a short period before it was to expire. Not knowing was hard but this was still a wonderful opportunity.

Advice

My one piece of advice would be: be willing to try anything and strive to take more on. Those in leadership appreciate the willingness to help and it makes you a more valuable employee.

Commercial real estate banker

April - August 2018 • Troy, MI

What I liked

I had a wonderful experience as an intern with Chemical Bank. I was able to be hands on with the Commercial Real Estate loans/deals that the bank provided for a mulititude of prominent developers. I helped with the underwriting of loans, met with many clients for lunch to discuss new opportunities, sat in many important committee meetings to discuss strategy/resolve problems and also went on many site visits to report the progress of their projects and research the comps in the market. I was also able to witness the rapid growth of Chemical Bank, over the summer, by acquiring the city of Detroit’s deposits/accounts and announcing their plans to be headquartered in a brand new building in the heart of downtown Detroit.

What I wish was different

Advice

One piece of advice that I would like to share about my experience is to ask questions and write in a journal weekly to refresh yourself on what you have learned.

IT Intern

I got to learn a lot of new things. TCF had a great atmosphere and we had fun. They also had an intern program so we got to learn about the Bank, volunteer and attend a soccer game.

What I wish was different

I wish I would have know a little more going in to the job. I was the only intern in my department so I wish I would have been able to work with other interns.
