At Brown & Brown, we think of ourselves as a high-performing team, so we have teammates – not employees; and leaders – not managers. We strive to attract people who are competitive, driven and disciplined. Our unique company culture rewards self-starters and those committed to doing what is best for our customers.

I started at Brown & Brown as an intern, working on a data migration project, and was later hired for a support role. After two years, I’ve been promoted to an engineering position and even received an award. The most rewarding part of my journey has been the supportive environment, where leadership genuinely prioritizes work-life balance and values personal growth. The recognition and opportunities for advancement here are unmatched, making it a great place to develop your career.

Associate Claims Specialist
As someone early in my career, I’ve found the on-the-job training at Brown & Brown to be incredibly valuable. It’s given me hands-on experience that I feel has advanced my development more than formal education or certifications alone. I initially joined as an intern, and what drew me to the company was the amazing people and the impactful work we do together. My favorite part of the job is the opportunity to collaborate with industry experts and contribute to meaningful solutions for our customers. I highly recommend Brown & Brown to recent graduates because it’s a place where you can grow both professionally and personally, working alongside a supportive team and tackling unique challenges.

Senior Vice President, Client Executive
Brown & Brown provided me with a strong professional foundation early in my career, shaping my skills beyond commercial insurance to include networking, communication, and workplace professionalism. Starting as an intern in 2014, I grew within the company for five years, gaining valuable experience and a deep sense of responsibility. The supportive team environment encouraged my academic and career milestones, from earning my degree to pursuing law school. After briefly working as an attorney, I returned to Brown & Brown as Director of Claims, where I continue to grow, lead and develop others. Brown & Brown has been instrumental in my professional and personal journey.

My career journey has been shaped by curiosity, adaptability and a supportive work environment. Starting as an intern, I embraced every opportunity to learn, ask questions and engage with others. One piece of advice I’d offer to interns is to be open, stay curious and network with everyone you can—this helps build knowledge and foster meaningful connections. The culture at Brown & Brown has been incredibly rewarding, offering a unique blend of hands-on experience and a commitment to personal growth. The diverse perspectives and resources available have truly made my transition from intern to full-time teammate a transformative experience.

Technology Solutions Associate
Starting my career at Brown & Brown has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The company offers a well-rounded culture that balances hard work with recognition, making it an ideal environment to launch an insurance career. Through working on various accounts and learning about different coverages, I’ve gained valuable skills in brokering, working with underwriters and finding solutions for customers. The personal fulfillment of solving problems and securing accounts keeps me motivated. My advice to those early in their careers is to ask questions, learn constantly and embrace the opportunity to add value to the organization. The recognition and support I’ve received here have been key to building a long-term, successful career.
