Hi all,

I wanna relocate in DSM by November with the hope to land a Job in the insurance industry. Can you guys help me with the name of Insurance companies(headquarters) you have in the metro? I have heard there are more than 50, but after google I had just very few of them. Please do not list agencies.

Thanks

I don't know any easy way to get a list. I too have heard over 50. Google wasn't much help to me, but I only tried for a few minutes. Hopefully someone can track this down.

Have you worked in insurance before? Are you willing to start at the bottom (call center type work)? Unless you're actively recruited by the company, you can't expect much.

Not true. Companies hire attorneys, IT people, HR people, investment people, accounting types, etc. etc. etc. all the time that have never worked in the industry before.

You seem to assume the OP is low skilled or maybe just out of college. We don't know that.

Considering he says "with the hope to land a job in the insurance industry" - it's hard to believe he's a corporate lawyer or HR executive.

As for corporate locations, EMC, Nationwide, Aviva, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Travelers...that I can think of right now. Some are life insurance, others car, others property, some everything, etc.

EMC and Aviva USA are based in Des Moines, well, Aviva is in West Des Moines.

The others are regional headquarters.
