Pros: I still cannot believe all the networking opportunities I had in just one short summer at Aetna. I have made amazing connections with managers and executives throughout this company… I now feel far more confident in myself and my ability to communicate in a professional, yet personal, manner. Cons: none. Advice for other students: Insurance seems boring, but it's not, it's interesting.
