I joined the BHHC team in July of 2006, and I can't believe it's already been two years. It has really been a great experience, not just work-wise, but making some new friends along the way. The work environment is so fun and relaxing. People are friendly and easy to work with. The work itself is diverse, challenging and interesting. Any time you deal with people and customer service, you will never be bored. I enjoy this job because it allows me to use my skill set of empathizing with stressed out people, helping those in difficult times and duly administering benefits to those who deserve them. It's a blessing to have this job and a joy to be able to help those who really need it. I do hope to stay here for as long as possible because it's a good job. If you enjoy helping people, are committed to excellent care and customer service, and you love to work hard in a fun environment, then this is the job for you!

Having never working in insurance prior to graduating from college, I came to Berkshire Hathaway Homestate companies with very little knowledge and even less experience in the industry. I came armed only with the skills I had developed from school and internships. That is all I needed; they provided the rest. From day one, I was given responsibilities that were integral to the operation of the department. My training was hands-on and my work made an immediate impact. I had the freedom to learn at my own pace all with the support of my department. My co-workers always offered to help answer any questions I had, and I had quite a few. The support they provide, still today, continues to help me develop and strengthen my knowledge and skills.The flat organizational structure allows me to work with and learn from high level managers and the company is large enough to provide a wide array of advancement opportunities. The work place provides a comfortable environment that promotes hard work while making it possible to enjoy coming into the office each day. I know this is a company where I can build a great career.
