Intern in Pre-Closing/Lending Department
May - August 2017 • Hicksville, NY
What I liked
Very organized, people were extremely nice and easygoing and outgoing which made experience a great one
What I wish was different
I was part time so I was limited to 25 hours a week which is 3 days of the week instead of 5 so I wish it was full time so I could've worked 5 days a week
Advice
Work hard, always have a smile on your face but also be serious. Don't look grumpy or in a bad mood and stay away from your phone when you're around other employers.

Commercial Real Estate Lending Intern
May - August 2019 • Hicksville, NY
What I liked
During my internship, I had the opportunity to gain hands-on experience reviewing loan files for the Pre-Closing Department. It was fascinating to learn about the many components involved in putting together and seeing through a commercial mortgage loan. I got the opportunity to meet people in various departments which helped me gain more of an understanding of the business of lending.

There is a TON of meetings. Out of their control but I just wished my commute was shorter. Also old tech stack.
Advice
Getting real world experience is far greater than anything involved in school/school projects.

Post closing receiving intern
May - August 2018 • Troy, MI
What I liked
we got to learn about different branches of the bank from coffee talks that we had each week. Each week a different branch would do a presentation about their job and the requirements it takes to do that job. They did volunteer work, and the internship program at Flagstar Bank was amazing.
What I wish was different
I wish the internship could have been longer.
Advice
Learn as much as you can, every bit of what you learn is valuable in some way.
