Pros

-I was an intern immediately after graduating from college with my B.S. in Communication- my role at EFE allowed for ample career exploration with a wide variety of actionable tasks for me to complete. -The work that I did was meaningful and contributed to the team's larger goals. My schedule was busy but also flexible. -I have had 2 other internships prior to this one and I feel my colleagues were more involved, engaging, and supportive at EFE than what I had experienced previously. -The benefits for an intern here are unheard of (including eligibility for medical / dental and PTO) -My senior colleagues were eager to mentor me both formally and informally. Overall, I would 100% recommend an internship with EFE to any college student who is interested in working in any role within the financial industry. If you are willing to put in the work and ask questions, you can really make an impact here.

Cons

Honestly can't think of any.

Pros

Pros Edelman provides strong exposure to retirement planning conversations and a fast-paced environment that builds customer service and communication skills quickly. The training and structure help you learn processes, systems, and compliance expectations. You get repetition with real client scenarios, and some teammates are genuinely supportive and knowledgeable.

Cons

The job can feel like a constant sprint. Metrics and monitoring often outweigh judgment and quality, and performance management can feel punitive rather than developmental. Leadership quality varies widely; the experience can depend heavily on your direct manager. Turnover and burnout felt common in the teams I observed.
