National Interstate Insurance

“I can't begin to describe how wonderful National Interstate's company culture is. If you ask anyone at this company, including myself, what their favorite part about working here is, they would say "the people"! Everyone here is so welcoming, kind, understanding, and patient. Everyone was willing to sit down with me to answer questions I had or even just chat to get to know each other. This was an experience like no other. I would also like to mention that I had lots of meaningful, educational projects that I was able to work on. I feel like I wouldn't have had as many opportunities interning at another company as I have had here at National Interstate. I highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for not just an internship, but a lifelong career. You will want to stay!”

“I loved being an intern at NATL, it was the best intern program I have participated in throughout my entire college career. I interned for a little over a year and had the opportunity to work part-time as a student until I graduated. There were plenty of fun networking and social events as well as opportunities to showcase your knowledge and skills if you wished to do so. Everyone in my dept. was very friendly and always willing to teach or include me on everything that was happening which in my opinion, is one of the most important aspects of an internship program. NATL wants the best from everyone and will challenge you to be great in your career but will reward you for your efforts. They are also very flexible and understanding because we are all human. I have never be a part of an organization like NATL and am very grateful for my experience here. A few months before I graduated college, I received a full-time job opportunity to be an HR Rep and I gladly accepted. I transitioned to this role in the beginning of May 2022 and was able to participate in their graduate program called "Ignition" at the start of June. This program lasts for the entire first month and was insanely helpful in setting my foundation in the insurance industry. Although I am in HR, you need at least a fundamental knowledge of your industry and how the other dept.'s work in order to do your job successfully and Ignition went above and beyond. Of course, who doesn't like an entire months worth of paid training and free snacks/refreshments but the program also had fun social events planned so it wasn't just classroom time. My class specifically was able to have at least two social events, lunch n learn sessions, teamwork activities, Top Golf, Wild Eagle Salon/Arcade, Customer Visit, Akron Rubber Ducks game, and a closing dinner. We also had fun activities planned throughout our education sessions that encouraged participation, networking events and mentor/mentee opportunities. Overall, I truly enjoyed being able to participate in the Ignition Program and will have close connections with everyone that went through the program as well. ”
