My experience at Zurich was nothing short of incredible. I participated in volunteer events, expanded my network, and I got the opportunity to host an event for other interns on the brokerage side of insurance. Thank you for everything, Zurich!
As interns, we had the opportunity to participate in a Habitat for Humanity build and a Make-A-Wish send-off for a child. Zurich’s community investment was one aspect of why I was interested in coming back after I graduated. It’s a company that practices what it says.
At some companies, interns are viewed as errand runners. That’s the opposite of what I encountered at Zurich. I felt immediately part of the team and that my contribution was needed and appreciated.
