Lockton

Marketing Intern

June - July 2023 • Kansas City, MO

What I liked

I loved interning at Lockton! You do real work that will actually be used, and you work on projects with other interns. Lockton cares about its Associates and company culture. There are so many networking opportunities, talent development sessions, and lunches with company leaders. It was a great experience.

Advice

Make this summer your own! Take initiative to go network and learn about those you are interested in. You can always ask to do something or be a part of a project and it shows you are eager to be involved.

What I liked

I enjoyed learning about employee benefits(the department I worked in) and how companies in various industries decide on what benefits they choose.

What I wish was different

I wish I had more of a social experience in the office, a lot of days I would just be sitting in my cubicle and not interacting too much socially.

Advice

Make the most out of your internship, try and network and learn as much as you can. Make yourself standout as an intern. Always ask if there is projects to do when you finish one instead of waiting around doing nothing.

PRG Summer Intern

Intern

June - August 2017 • Dallas, TX

What I liked

Lockton is an incredible environment to learn about insurance brokerage. The experience you gain at Lockton will set you apart from any other candidate trying to get a job in insurance. I was exposed to a variety of different types of insurance doing work that impacted high-profile clients. There's no necessary prior knowledge needed to succeed at Lockton - they will take care of you and teach whatever you need to know.

What I wish was different

Other interns complained about slow days occasionally, but there's usually work that needs to be done if you go out and look for it.

Advice

It's really best to know someone who works at Lockton to secure an interview. Ask around for contacts and try and make a connection. Not sure how much luck you will have cold-calling, so knowing someone helps tremendously. Before the interview make sure you research just exactly what insurance brokerage entails.
