A common theme amongst our staff is, “I came for the job, stayed for the career!”  As we grow, we are committed to recruiting and retaining the very best talent.  We tend to promote from within before considering external candidates for our more senior roles.

We have a high energy office environment that encourages collaboration, engagement, and excitement.  A heavily performance based role like this can be extremely rewarding but is also stressful at times so we do our best to create an upbeat and supportive environment.  Our dress code is business casual but we have daily contests for casual dress days.

We support a healthy work-life balance!  We don’t require you to work late nights and weekends like other agencies do.

Our business is the largest in our industry with better and more clients in Multi-Family housing than anyone else.  We have a higher contingency rates (our fee per dollar we collect), better pay potential, contests, available resources, and benefits! 

Let’s talk money!

We offer a base salary between $2,500 – $3,000+ per month based on experience.  There are bonus opportunities during training that can increase your income early on.  The bonuses are around $200-400+ each.

The BIG money is in our commission plan!  We have one of the best commission plans around (if not THE best)!!!  Our average collectors make between $50,000 – $70,000 in their first year then $70,000 – $100,000 in their second year.  Our Top Performers are making $125,000 – $200,000+.  Because earnings potential is performance driven, your income may vary from these averages.

In addition to great pay, Assurant offers competitive benefits!  Here are a few highlights:

You get to choose from 3 different levels of Health Insurance Benefits so that you get exactly what you need based on your situation.  We match $1 for $1 up to 6% on your 401(k) contributions.  We have an employee stock purchase plan which allows you to purchase company stock at a discounted rate.  We believe in a healthy work-life balance so you’ll start off with 14 days of PTO plus 12 paid company holidays. 

About you:

We need you to have a High School Diploma or GED, basic math skills (adding, subtracting, multiplying, rounding, and probability), confidence, and persistence.  

We’ve seen great success from, but not limited to, people with backgrounds like retail salespeople, fast paced call center or customer service agents, business developers in real estate, retail, marketing, or insurance, or banking professionals such as Personal Bankers or Loan Officers, restaurant servers, cooks, bar tenders, car sales, etc.  People that have ever said they, “just need someone to give them an opportunity to prove myself” do really well here.
