Oh Hey, I'm Colby and I work here at Central Insurance.
My friends are always asking me what it's like to work here at Central, so stick with
me and I'll give you a quick tour!
Sound good? (camera nods yes)
Awesomel!
Let's go!
This is my workspace.
Here's Maria's
and this is Rick's.
And this could be yours.
One of the cool things I like about Central is that...
Bill: Hey, Colby!
Colby: Hey Bill! How's it going?
Bill: Pretty good. What you up to?
Colby: Oh, we're just shooting a video here.
Bill: Awesome! I'd love to see it when you get it done.
Colby: Yeah, we'll shoot it over your way!
Bill: Alright, look for it then! See ya!
Colby: Have a nice day!
Bill's our president.
But, like I was saying...one of the cool things about Central is we like to work in teams.
We work in small groups in rooms like this,
or this
Sometimes we work in bigger groups in rooms like this
and this.
We have an IT Department of over 100 people, some in satellite locations.
They even host tech camps during the summer for kids.
Max - Man, I these C sharp methods to work right with this new .Net Framework.
Everytime I make an AJAX file...
Colby: I can't translate that for you.
IT isn't for everyone.
We have lots of departments like Claims, Marketing,
Underwriting, Legal, Human Resources,
Facilities, Actuarial.
More underwriting, Learning and Development,
Risk Management and Innovation, Accounting,
and Customer Service.
As you can see we are pretty big on customer service around here.
Our employees work in our Van Wert offices, or one of our offices
near Boston Atlanta
Dallas or Columbus.
But no matter which office or department we work in, we all have one thing in common:
fulfilling our promise to provide peace of mind to our customers.
Most of us don't know a lot about insurance when we join the company.
But that's OK.
Central has paid internships and other training options.
They even pay for advanced insurance education -- these guys just finished an insurance class
and Central is sending them to Hawaii for graduation!
And then there's our benefits package - medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance,
a 401K, profit share, and even a pension plan.
Very few companies offer those anymore!
I'm using our flex time option to leave early today.
I flex so I can coach my nephew's soccer team.
He gets a kick out of it. (wink)
Colby: Hey Lexi!
Lexi: Hey Colby!
Colby: How's class?
Lexi: Good thanks!
Colby: Awesome! Well, have a good day!
Lexi: Thank you, you too!
Lexi teaches Junior Achievement classes to local school kids.
Central employees are really big in their communities.
Well, that's all I have for ya.
Thanks for hanging out with me today.
See ya later!
You're still here?

Listen to what our last group of interns had to say about Central.
Nick: It really did surprise me because nobody really looked down upon me for being young.
Sierra: I love that at Central I get to experience different variety and no day is the same.
Jeff: But yeah, a lot of learning.
Tons and tons of learning.
Tierra: The amount of education and training that Central puts you though during a short
summer is amazing and I feel like I've learned so much not only about insurance but about
myself through these different training plans.
Tyler: ...Teach you how to apply things that you learn inside the classroom outside of the
classroom, and it's just a wonderful place to work and I've just really enjoyed my time here.
Sierra: I get to go to work not I have to go to work.
Kandee: My internship was a great experience for me.
I know that these are skills I can take with me into my future.
Joe: Getting a very broad overview of what the insurance industry has to offer has, you
know, made my internship a really good one.
Tanner: It's going to have lots of opportunities for people my age, for advancement.
Insurance jobs aren't going away and there is going to be a big need for people my age
to step up and take over some of those jobs.
Tierra: Has anybody talked about culture yet?
Jeff: A really a great place.
I've loved it.
I will love it.
Tyler: Everyone there is extremely nice.
Kandee: ...the people.
Everywhere I went someone said hi to you.
Joe: Just the people...I think everybody's so nice here.
Tierra: They trust you.
Tanner: The culture here and I really noticed that.
Nick: (wink)
Joe: Come, come check us out!
