The Basics

Hours

Internships are full-time, 40 hours a week, with the potential for overtime, which is compensated.

Location

Our Maumee office is located about 2 miles from I-475, right off of Reynolds Road near the Ohio Turnpike exit. We have free parking and a host of restaurants, shopping and bars conveniently located nearby.

Dress Code

No client meetings? Break out your jeans and hoodie — even if it’s not Friday. Our 'dress for your day' is hugely popular and emphasizes our work-life balance program. We ask team members to use good judgment when deciding what to wear to work.

Flexibility

Have a doctor’s appointment? Need to run an errand? Our flexible time-off policy allows our team to take time off when they need it most, provided work objectives continue to be met. We recognize what is most important your well-being.

Designed for students in their junior or senior year, this isn’t a 'fetch-coffee-and-donuts' internship. Our interns have the chance to do real work with real professionals and clients during the most critical time of the year.
