    They’ll pay for your license and training! I worked in the auto department, and we were licensed in personal lines. Technically, we can sell home, boat, pet, etc… It’s pretty decent. It’s your standard call center environment. Good benefits, decent pay, okay leave, and hours are pretty flexible due to hours of operation. There’s a strict word tree you follow and a series of resources. I worked at corporate, though. I never touched sales or claims. They paid more, but it seemed a lot more soul sucking, IMO. The most stressful thing was dealing with payments.

    If you show a good history of customer service, they’ll probably hire you and pay for your license.

    I’m not sure which department would require that specific license. Casualty was wrapped up pretty well in personal lines, but that’s for CA corporate. In customer service, we mostly helped people get insurance at car dealerships, helped people process payments, and answered questions. Sorry if this is the wrong state. That’s a big thing as well. CA license carries over well for a lot of states.

      Oh well I’m not moving to California, was hoping they had work from home. Because I live Oklahoma and don’t think they have a call center here. Or I would have already worked there. I do have 20 plus years in customer service.

        They did during the pandemic, and then they rolled it back. There were a LOT of cyber security issues. I think people should be able to work from home, but we were dealing with a bunch of personal data. If we fuck anything to the entire company and everyone who needs them is fucked.
