First off anyone who receives this internship I suggest changing your mind. I’m a finance student in the city who was looking eagerly for an internship to expand my knowledge and growth in the finance world. Long story short got accepted into this internship and I thought everything was great until they started to make me list 100 names and phone numbers of people I know , saying “we will need to call this people and potentially schedule meetings with them with an advisor”. Btw that’s how we got paid , you get paid by scheduling 3 meetings a week and if u can’t meet that quota you don’t get paid. What I realized is this internship is just basically to get college students to gather their friends and family for this company. For me my cousins took the meetings to help me out and the advisors speaking to them were honestly nasty and very pushy to get them to have another meeting to “make financial plans” . Very scummy business and very scummy internship , i strongly recommend u save urself the time and stress . They also make you get licensed so don’t even bother doing all of this just to be a puppet who gathers clients for them.

I got called in by these folks 20 years ago.
Back then, you also had to pay for the marketing materials …
