Whether you’ve never thought about a job in insurance, or you already know the great opportunities in our field, think about joining Co-op’s team. Insurance offers a career trifecta: stable, rewarding, and limitless. Our 93 employees take an active role in planning their career path. Co-op employees care deeply about helping the company achieve business objectives while delivering an exceptional member experience. Our 2021 Net Promoter Score of .75 shows we are doing just that. Last year we wrote more than $92.4 million in premium, which is a 6.5% increase over the previous year, and a 19% rise over five years. Even with that kind of growth, our employees enjoy a great work-life balance, with time to be involved in the communities where they live, including during the pandemic. In 2022, for the 6th year in a row Co-op has been named one of the Best Places to Work in Vermont! In response to the question "What does this organization do that makes it a place where people would want to work?”, we received this feedback: "This question probably wants specifics, but honestly, the company simply tries to do right by employees in pretty much every area you can name. Knowing that is the starting point makes it a great place to work." Our company roots are in farm insurance, but we've adapted to our customers' changing needs over the years. We have over 78,000 policies in force, offering protection for homes, autos, businesses, farms, and more. Known for our fast and fair claims service and our knowledge of loss control practices, we're headquartered in Middlebury, VT, with employees throughout Vermont and New Hampshire (and beyond).
