Careers at Christensen Group

More than a job, a career with ownership.

At Christensen Group, we treat our employees like people. We trust you to get your work done — and done well. And we also understand that everyone has families, social lives and important things going on outside of the office. It's this balance and understanding that keeps people around — because we want you around. At the heart of it all, we care. We care about our clients, we care about the carrier partners and we care about one another; professionally and personally.

Voted best places to work

The Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal and Business Insurance have named Christensen Group Insurance a Best Place to Work in the Twin Cities.

Not your everyday insurance company.

We’re committed to understanding the businesses we serve and finding solutions that enable those businesses to grow. As an employee, that means you are constantly learning and developing through on-the-job experiences to best serve your clients. Our leadership focuses on bringing classroom-type learning experiences to our employees and creating an environment where we can learn from each other’s diverse experiences. Ultimately, we believe you own your career journey, and we have leaders and mentors to support you along the way, whichever path you choose.

What our employees are saying

Here’s what sets CG apart from most shops: We have a unique level of collaboration where everyone supports each other’s success. A win for one of us is a win for all, and we genuinely assist new producers without taking a cut of their commission. Our low staff turnover, thanks to the ESOP, means we provide consistent service to our clients. We’re rewarded for all our opportunities, not just the core areas of production. Most importantly, our culture is exceptional—working with people who are not only professional and knowledgeable but also truly enjoyable and respectful.

Joe Blee

Senior Vice President

I feel very lucky to have started my professional career here at Christensen Group. Our leadership is so supportive of career growth and helping find exactly what role you'd fit in best. I love that we're small enough where you get to know so many of your coworkers, but we're large enough that you have a lot of different opportunities for growth!

Laura Wilde

Agency Services Project Manager

Words don't do the culture at CG justice: but they can try! The people here are as smart as they are kind, the systems and processes are strategic and well thought out, and the sterling reputation CG has is tough to find elsewhere. Independence as a brokerage is rare in this industry, but being such means our clients are and will remain our highest priority. If there's a brokerage with a bright future, Christensen Group is it.

Luke Aslesen

Vice President

I was attracted to CG because of its esteemed reputation in the insurance industry, earning the respect of both carriers and clients alike. After working here for some time now, I confidently tell all that our success comes from our culture of teamwork, respect, and employee well-being. CG fosters a supportive environment that drives success for everyone involved!

Ginny Hosley

Senior Advisor

Christensen Group is a unicorn within the insurance industry. It is rare to find such a collaborative group of people that really care about their clients, coworkers, and work product. The ESOP is a difference maker from a retirement standpoint, but also feeds into the everyday positive culture the organization has cultivated since its inception in 1952. I feel incredibly fortunate to be a part of this team and can confidently say I will never work anywhere else as I absolutely love it here.

ZacH Freeman

Vice President

At CG every employee, whether in a production or service role, is valued for their unique contribution to the culture and success of the company. Each voice matters in shaping our direction, fostering collaboration, and driving innovation for a brighter future and for a fun day to day work environment.

True corporate responsibility is a team effort. We empower our business partners and our team to do the right thing for the community.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY & INCLUSION IN ACTION

We partner with Cristo Rey Jesuit High School to give opportunities to talented people from underrepresented communities. We know insurance has a long way to go when it comes to diversity, and we’re committed to being part of the solution.

On-site perks

Most people spend the majority of their adult lives at their workplace — and we know burning some energy is important during the day. So when we built out our new office , we included space for people to stay fit, blow off some steam and get their sweat on.
