Pros
I had an incredible internship experience at Gideon Strategic Partners. The firm provided on-site training, assigned meaningful summer projects, and allowed me to directly participate in the client prospecting process. Despite its serious professional atmosphere, Gideon's culture is very welcoming and supportive, making it an excellent first office environment for college-aged students. During the internship, I met weekly with senior managers to discuss the progress of my summer projects and connect on a more personal level, which made my internship experience even more meaningful. I was competitively compensated and rewarded for the effort and commitment I put into my work. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Gideon and would recommend the internship program to anyone interested in exploring wealth management.
Cons
I don't have any cons to give for the experience. The internship was an extremely valuable dive into the world of sales and wealth management.
