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!

#wereweird
M&W insurance brokers have aimed to change the way Ontario views working in the insurance industry. To do this the entire M&W team commits to keepin’ it fun and keepin’ it weird. Fun and weird is good for business. Our “People” are our competitive advantage. We have a loyal and motivated team who thrive here and it’s because of our unique culture. Every single teammate is weird and unique in their own way. We encourage our team to express themselves, no matter how weird they are.

Thanu started growing his mo two days late, so admittedly it's a little light. But he's known as a strong closer, and there's still two weeks left in #Movember. If you think he's gonna end up with the best mo of all, place your bets now: https://buff.ly/2Xh5fyA
Before he started growing a mo, Al was shy, lacked confidence in himself, and spent most of his free time playing Majong on his phone. Now he only plays Candy Crush. Please support Al's Movember transformation: https://buff.ly/2Kl9jsr
Two weeks into #Movember and the growth is coming along nicely. If you want Chris' secret to growing such a solid mo, make a donation, and he might tell you: https://buff.ly/354i0z7
This guy likes sleeping on the couch, but he'd like it even more if you helped save men's lives by giving to #Movember. https://buff.ly/2Q0MfCM
