## Story

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Nov. 8, 2021 // PRNewswire // - For the seventh time in the company's 13-year history, Brightway Insurance has earned the title as one of the Best Places to Work in Northeast Florida. The Jacksonville Business Journal presented the award Nov. 1, ranking Brightway No. 6 among the extra large companies (250+ employees) on Florida's First Coast. The Best Places to Work program recognizes companies with excellent morale, engagement and retention. Awards are based on employee responses to an online survey.

Founded by brothers, David and Michael Miller, in Jacksonville, Brightway has grown into one of the largest Personal Lines insurance agencies in the country. In 2008, 35 employees worked at Brightway's Home Office. Today, the company's team of nearly 500 people support more than 300 franchise locations in 28 states.

"My brother, David, and I started Brightway in 2008, and we work hard to maintain a family like culture where everyone works to help everyone else throughout the company with a commitment to our Win, Win, Win operating mandate," said Brightway President and CEO, Michael Miller. "Employees and our business partners understand that everything we do must lead to winning outcomes for our customers, our franchisees and our employees, and we wouldn't be where we are today without this alignment and their commitment. We're thrilled to be honored by the Jacksonville Business Journal and owe a great amount of gratitude to our people who work hard to make Brightway an industry leader."

As the company's national footprint grows, so does its need for talent. Brightway is actively recruiting for many open roles at its Home Office.

Employees enjoy competitive salary, paid time off and benefits, including Medical, Dental, Life and Disability insurance and a 401(k) plan with market-leading 4% match with no vesting period. In the first year, employees get 14 paid days off, along with seven paid holidays. Employees are eligible for bonuses and a tuition assistance program that can help pay for tuition regardless of the type of coursework the employee pursues.
