Think of this as more of a stepping stone into your career than as an internship.  In fact, many of our interns receive offers for full-time employment before they even start their senior year of college! 

But first things first - what are the benefits?  The compensation is $5000 for the 10-week internship. Another perk is the bonus opportunities contingent on performance.  Need more convincing?  Cottingham & Butler will provide and pay for your summer housing, as well.

During the internship, you will be partnered with an established sales executive or service mentor where you will be involved in various stages of the sales cycle or strategic side of our business.  You will also be responsible for a market research project throughout the 10-week program.  This will be a real-life project that will give you hands-on business experience.  You will finish your internship with a presentation to Cottingham & Butler's executive team.  How many of your classmates can say that they had the opportunity to spend time with the top executives of the 30th largest brokerage firm in the United States?
