Marketing Intern

May - August 2021 • Strongsville, OH

What I liked

Interning at Union Home Mortgage was such an amazing experience. They treat their interns like they are full-time employees and truly do give you a world-class experience. Every task I was given was always utilized to help the company grow, I was never given tasks that didn't matter. In the few months of being an intern, I have learned SO MUCH. UHM strives to teach their interns not only everything about the mortgage business, but also gives you the tools to expand your skill set that will make a difference in your future career.

What I wish was different

There is nothing that I wish would have been different. The recruiting team did such an amazing job at planning events for interns and guiding them throughout the program. My recruiter, Isabella, always checked in on me to see how I was doing and always made sure I was comfortable within my role at the company.

Advice

My advice for future UHM interns is to enjoy every moment of the program because it goes by so quickly. Sit in on as many meetings as you can, never be afraid to ask questions, learn as much as you can, and utilize every opportunity you're given!

What I liked

Where do I even start? I think the best thing I can talk about it the people. Everyone who I have talked to has been extremely nice and helpful no matter what. And here, just because you're an intern doesn't mean you're looked down upon. I seriously feel like I am a full-time partner but I'm still an intern. Every idea I bring up is at least looked into and not just turned down because I'm an intern. Plus all of the events the recruiters put on for us is great, it really makes it fun. I really genuinely enjoy coming to work every single day. I enjoy everyone who I work with and it is such a positive environment, it's so different from any other company that I worked with previously, it's really cool to see how positive everyone is at work!

What I wish was different

I wish everyone was in person, but that's no fault of the company obviously, but it would've been cool to see everyone in person

Advice

Try your best to be involved. Bring up new ideas you may have about your work or the processes around it, be outgoing and meet new people. No one is going to turn you down for bringing up new ideas or anything like that. And try to be involved in the intern events if you are an intern, if you're actually involved they're a lot of fun and it makes the experience even better!

Training - Technical Writing Intern

May - August 2022 • Strongsville, OH

What I liked

My favorite part of interning at Union Home Mortgage was the kindness of everyone around me. From my fellow interns, to full-time partners, to senior leaders, I knew I was surrounded by people who meant well.

What I wish was different

I wish they didn't feed us as much free food as they did. I'm now refusing to step on a scale.

Advice

Be open to talking to people about which path would be best for you in the company. UHM is really good about making sure you're in the right role - so speak up!

Technical Writing Intern

May 2022 • Strongsville, OH

What I liked

I LOVED this internship program! You will gain so much experience in terms of working in a corporate environment, working within and expanding your skillset, working in a team, and more! The Recruiting team does a great job of having the interns across all departments get together throughout the summer, whether it be a summer long group project or food trucks in the parking lot. Also - lots of free UHM gear :) You also don't have to know ANYTHING about the mortgage industry coming in, because they teach you everything you need to know on site!

IT Help Desk Intern

May - August 2021 • Strongsville, OH

What I liked

I actually made an impact when working here. I was able to do meaningful work and get a true experience .All the intern events were really fun to attend. Everybody is extremely nice and understanding. Everybody sticks to the core values to make this a comfortable and safe work place. I am beyond excited to continue my career here.

What I wish was different

I wish more of the virtual interns came in the office. It was hard to bond with them and get to know everybody who was virtual.

Advice

I highly recommend experiencing this internship in the office. While UHM does a fantastic job of including the remote interns the experience definitely varies. You get to know the culture way better and being in person for the events was definitely worth it.

Compliace intern

May - August 2021 • Strongsville, OH

What I liked

I liked how I got to learn a lot while on the job about the company and different departments, as well as the mortgage industry which was new to me.

What I wish was different

I wish I had been tasked with completing more meaningful work from my supervisor, rather than the same repetitive testings and procedures completed every month. I hoped my manager would come to me with more challenging and impactful projects.

Advice

I would say to go for an opportunity that comes your way, even if it is outside of your comfort zone or does not necessarily align with your career path. It cans till be a very insightful experience, providing you with a lot of information you may have never learned otherwise.

Through the UHM internship I gained a lot of amazing experience. I was able to learn more about myself and what areas I would like to work in. As an intern you are treated like a full-time partner and able to sit in on meetings and given meaningful work. The events the recruiters plan are fun and allow you to connect with other interns! Everyone at UHM is so kind and supportive!

What I wish was different

Be open to learning more about different areas and talking to new people! Everyone is super nice and supportive in helping you throughout the internship.

Consumer Direct Sales Intern

May 2024 • Strongsville, OH

What I liked

The people you work with will always treat you with respect and they treat interns like full time partners. Everything is over communicated so that everyone is on the same page. There was at least one fun event with the other interns every week. You are able to shadow the other departments and learn more about their day to day.
