Training

We believe in creating a safe and open learning environment for all employees. This means employees are encouraged to be curious, seek insurance designations to deepen insurance knowledge and be challenged with new growth opportunities.

Insurance covers all industries and types of businesses. Which means you create your own career path as a generalist (knowing all types of insurance coverages and needs), specialist (focused on an industry/coverage type) or navigate between both roles over the span of a career.

The Marketing Executive role requires a strong insurance background in order to act as a technical expert to producers and team members. At Christensen Group, we encourage individuals to be life-long learners and individuals are rewarded according to their unique skillset and knowledge.

Perks of Working at Christensen Group

We are employee owned. A large part of our compensation package is the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) which means we all have skin in the game. An ESOP is a retirement asset, similar to a 401(k) Plan but the difference is a 401k grows based on the stock market and our ESOP grows based on the work we contribute as a team.

All ESOP eligible employees participate in an allocation of ESOP shares that are targeted at 15% of W-2 pay. In simple terms, Christensen Group adds shares equal to a dollar value into your ESOP retirement account every year. What we contribute is 5x more than the typical 3% employer 401(k) match.

At Christensen Group we offer a comprehensive employee benefits package including medical, dental, vision, HSA's, FSA's, short-term/long-term disability, life insurance, 401(k), identity shield, and pet insurance.

Most people spend the majority of their adult lives at their workplace - and we know that burning some energy is important during the day. So, when we built out our new office, we made sure to include some space for people to stay fit, blow off some steam and get their sweat on. This can be done in our Golf Simulator, the onsite gym, on the racquetball court, or on our walking treadmill desks.
