Meet some of our previous interns
John Doty
Sales Intern
“As a sales intern, I not only learned how to sell our products but also how to present myself to future employers. Through the five-step sales process and effective storytelling, I became better equipped to take my next steps in the finance and insurance industry. Learning the products also helped me understand how to allocate my own investments to prepare for a better retirement. Overall, this internship greatly prepared me for my future.”
Abby Veiman
Actuarial Intern
“This internship was very rewarding. I gained hands-on experience using the skills I’ve learned in school while getting exposure to new coding languages and real-world applications. My team supported me every step of the way and helped me grow professionally and personally.”
Cade Godwin
Sales Desk Intern
“Everybody I’ve interacted with has been so welcoming and willing to help. I’m constantly engaged in learning opportunities throughout my day, whether I’m shadowing a wholesaler or helping build illustrations for reps.”
Giving back to our communities
In addition to on-the-job experience, you'll also have the opportunity as an intern to make a difference in our communities. Interns work hand-in-hand to volunteer at local nonprofits during their time at Sammons Financial Group.
Getting to volunteer with Sammons Financial Group early on in my internship was an extremely valuable experience. I was able to support a very special organization, and it was rewarding getting to make a difference with the other interns. It was a great team builder for the group that I found very memorable."
