Office Assistant

At Commercial Insurance Associates, we know that most people think insurance is boring. It's complicated, not very cool or exciting, and something we all hope we never have to use.

We also know that insurance is important, necessary, and it’s not going anywhere. The insurance industry is a flexible, dynamic, and recession-proof place to build a long term and successful career.

We are a multi-line independent insurance agency, and we proudly represent numerous top-rated insurance companies to provide competitive pricing and exceptional service to our clients. We started our agency in 2007 and quickly expanded our client base despite the financial crisis that came shortly thereafter. Our growth intensified at an exponential pace even through the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are continuing expansion well into the future.

We combine a "small company" culture where your ideas will be heard with "big company" expertise to help you succeed. We work hard but play just as hard, and we place a huge emphasis on positive team culture and work/life balance.

We are seeking individuals who are interested in either taking their existing insurance background to the next level, or building a new career in an environment where growth is encouraged, achievements are recognized, and income caps are not "a thing".
