It makes it so much easier if he gets sick and just the peace of mind of knowing I can pop in anytime d uring the day and be welcomed is nice.An added benefit is that it gives us some extra quality time that wed miss out on if he welches in a center near the house.2. Team Member Resource Networks (TMRNs) and Womens ConferencesQuicken Loans is committed to building a strong, inclusive community to empower and inspire women by celebrating their accomplishments and growing careers while creating mentorship opportunities. Thats why the Professional Womens Network Detroit Chapter TMRN was created.Women team members are also encouraged to attend conferences in order to network with other women, listen to inspirational speakers and build upon their skills. Lindsay Brown, Team Leader, Client Experience Operations, has taken advantage of two conferences to date.The conferences are always filled with engaging panel discussions with women from all different walks of life, Brown said. Its inspiring to hear the real and raw story of someone who has shattered the glass ceiling.With so many great co nferences out there, Brown said one of the most difficult decision is choosing which ones to attend.I always start by looking inward and asking myself questions like, Are there things I need to work on and what skills can I polish and sharpen? and let the answers to these questions guide me to a conference, Brown said.3.

Full-time team members can receive up to $5,250 annually or up to $2,625 annually for part-time team members. For Tiffany Braden, Amaze U Trainer, working full time while taking classes was a challenge she couldnt have made it through without her fellow team members.Theyre always encouraging and supportive of me finishing my degrees, Braden said. Whenever I feel like quitting, theyre always there to tell me to keep going.Braden, who has completed her bachelors degree in business, is also a military veteran. After graduating in August with her bachelors, shes back in school seeking her masters degree.Both the VA and Quicken Loans have made the process of going back to school smooth, she said. I couldnt have finished my bachelors and started my masters without the two.4.
