About The Vermont Agency

Founded in 1850, The Vermont Agency is National Life Group’s first insurance agency and has spent more than 175 years building a business rooted in relationships, loyalty, and service.

Our mission is simple:

To Dramatically Impact the Lives of Others.

We believe the work we do is about more than financial products. It’s about being there for people through life’s biggest moments—helping individuals, families, and businesses protect what matters, prepare for the future, and build a legacy of their own.

At The Vermont Agency, family matters. We believe in taking care of our people, investing in their development, and creating an environment where relationships extend beyond business. Many of our professionals have built their careers here over decades, and our culture is grounded in loyalty, collaboration, mentorship, and a genuine commitment to one another.

When you join us, you’re not simply joining a company. You’re becoming part of a legacy.

Your Income Potential Is Unlimited

This is a commission-based opportunity with significant earning potential. Your income is directly connected to your production, performance, and ability to build and grow your practice—meaning there is no traditional income ceiling.

The salary/earnings figure listed above represents the average first-year earnings for entry-level professionals. As you gain experience, develop your client relationships, and grow your practice, your earning potential can increase significantly.

For the right individual, this is an opportunity to build something of your own while having the support, resources, and experience of an established agency behind you.

The Opportunity

As a Financial Advisor Associate, you’ll learn how to build meaningful relationships with individuals, families, and businesses while developing the knowledge and skills necessary to build a successful financial services practice.

  • Participate in structured coaching, mentorship, and professional development

  • Collaborate with experienced professionals and participate in team meetings and agency initiatives
  • Develop the communication, relationship-building, and business-development skills necessary for long-term success
  • Build a career focused on making a meaningful difference in the lives of clients and their families

No prior financial services experience is required. We believe in developing people and providing the education, coaching, and resources necessary to help them succeed.

  • Comprehensive training and ongoing professional development
  • Structured coaching and mentorship from experienced professionals
  • Flexible scheduling with remote and in-person work options
  • Commission-based earning potential with no income ceiling
