Careers
What is Mitchell & Whale All About?
Want a career with a mission? M&W is not your typical Insurance Broker and our Mission is “To Make Insurance Not Suck!” Want to be part of that?
We’re not your typical Insurance Brokerage, we sell insurance, but we don’t do it the same way as most. We’re on a mission ‘To Make Insurance Not Suck!”. We take our mission seriously both for our customers and our team. We use lots of cool technology and have a young, fun, loud and open office.
We have no dress code, yep we’re casual all the time, we really like coffee, love our wine Fridays and can’t wait to show you our nerf gun wall. We have loads of fun, but work hard too!
We provide a friendly, supportive team atmosphere, where your opinion matters. You will not be micromanaged; rather given the freedom to work independently with support and accountability for meeting and exceeding targets and goals. We are highly focused on your growth and learning and the success of your career as an insurance professional.
It’s not just us that think we’re pretty cool, with our fast-paced, forward thinking team we’ve been voted #1 brokerage in Ontario, Innovator of the year, and 2018 Brokerage of the Year, so our industry peers are taking notice too!
