YOUR FUTURE as an Independent Insurance Agent Starts Here
If you’re looking for a career that offers flexibility, job stability and strong compensation you’ve come to the right place! Working with an independent agency is a great career choice. Baby Boomers in insurance are retiring at rapid speeds and leaving a high demand for insurance professionals!
Trusted Choice® Independent Insurance Agents protect customers by providing home, auto, business, life and health insurance policies to fit their individual needs. Independent agencies are not bound to offering products from only one insurance company. Instead, we can offer customers a choice of policies from a variety of insurance companies to provide the best protection at a competitive price.
Each agency is independently owned and operated. Your application will go directly to the agency, and all hiring decisions will be made by the management of that agency. All inquiries about employment at an agency should be made directly to the location, and not to Big I Indiana.
