• Continue developing your sales and insurance knowledge through training and coaching

What We're Looking For

• Competitive base salary plus uncapped commission potential

• Performance-based bonuses and incentives

• Paid training and ongoing coaching

• Hands-on mentorship and professional development

• Opportunities for advancement and increased responsibility

• Potential long-term path toward agency ownership

Grow Beyond the Position You Start In

An Agent in Training role can be the beginning of a much larger career path.

As you gain experience, you'll learn more than how to sell insurance. You'll develop skills in client management, business development, relationship building, and agency operations.

For candidates with long-term leadership or entrepreneurial goals, there are also opportunities to continue developing within Farmers Insurance and potentially work toward running an agency of your own in the future.
