National Life Group

Information Security GRC Analyst

May - August 2023 • Addison, TX

What I liked

My past experience with National Life Group was nothing short of amazing. I liked the company culture and how each team of each department were close with each other. The company treated me and other interns with the upmost respect and made sure that we were learning something new each day.

What I wish was different

There was nothing I would wish would have been different other than more interaction with the interns from the other National Life Group campus in Vermont.

Advice

One important piece of advice I will share about this experience is to get the most out of the experience as a whole. Get to know everyone on your team, get to know the other interns and build that relationship with them for a connection in the future.

Financial Analyst Intern

May - August 2019 • Montpelier, VT

What I liked

The atmosphere and team was a lot of fun to work with. Everyone was extremely helpful and resourceful. The work that they give you is actually meaningful. You are taught how to use different databases, and how to organize/read the data so that it is meaningful.

Advice

Don't be afraid to ask questions, not only in your own department but other departments as well.

Internal Audit Intern

May - August 2019 • Montpelier, VT

What I liked

I loved the program that they had. They had a lot of lunch and learns where we learned about the company, how it's run, and how to be better professionals. The company itself was also just a great place to work at. It had a great culture and is a company I would seriously consider working for long-term if I was in the insurance industry.

What I wish was different

I wish we had more work to do in our own departments. We had a lot of work for the program, but once we were in our separate departments, a lot of interns weren't very busy. Luckily, I was in one of the more busy departments, but there were still definitely times when I completed all my work and just had to wait for my next project.

Advice

Make sure to plan ahead. If you are going to a new location, learn about housing in the area and what things you can do there. I wish I would have had a better plan for what I wanted to do during my free time.
