It’s simple — you want to be part of a tightly-knit team where each person’s expertise is respected and valued. Here are ten more reasons why you should work for Square One:

  • A strong purpose: We want to be the Apple of home insurance. Or at least, we aim to do for home insurance in Canada what GEICO and Progressive did for auto insurance in the United States.
  • A great culture: We have a culture of respect, pride and innovation. We treat smart people smart. So, as a member of the team, your opinions matter. You’ll have direct access to the entire leadership team, including the company’s president. We’re also building a culture of recognition and fun by celebrating company and personal successes.
  • Innovative products, services, processes and systems: Starting from scratch has given us many advantages – we designed all our products, services, processes and systems. We’ve been able to create everything with our customers in mind, and we’re adopting best practices from other countries and other industries.
  • Focus and support needed to be an expert: Many people strive to be an expert at what they do. At Square One, you’re set to do just that. Our focus on home insurance, the great coaching and training we offer, and the solid computer and telephone systems we provide, are all designed to help you be an expert.
  • A trendy Yaletown location: Our charming office has exposed wood beams and bricks, and it’s conveniently located in the Yaletown area of Downtown Vancouver. It’s easy to access by bus, Skytrain or Westcoast Express. In fact, we’re only 4 blocks from the Yaletown Skytrain Station and 8 blocks from either the Granville or Stadium Skytrain Stations. During breaks, you can frequent cool cafes, restaurants, and shops.
  • Casual dress: Imagine being able to wear jeans and sneakers to work every day! That’s not something you can do at a traditional insurance agency. It makes coming to work a whole lot more pleasant.
  • Free food and drinks: We order-in lunch on the company at least once a week to celebrate our successes. And, our fridge is always stocked with drinks for everyone to enjoy.
  • Fair compensation: You deserve to be fairly compensated for your contributions, so we offer very competitive base salaries. You’ll get three weeks, not two weeks, of vacation to start. And, you can tailor your other benefits to your individual needs.
  • Employee profit sharing program: You directly contribute to Square One’s success, so if the company reaches its quarterly goals, you’ll share in its profits. It’s as simple as that.
