DALLAS, Jan. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Elephant Auto Insurance, the 8th fastest growing Property and Casualty insurer in the US (2015), is looking for talented professionals to join its new Dallas team. As its customer base continues to grow, Elephant will have new roles for sales agents followed by customer service and claims roles later in 2017. The Carrollton office is to become an integral part of Elephant with a wider range of business functions.

There is no need to have insurance or sales experience as long as you have a willingness to learn and a passion for customer service. Elephant provides all necessary training for agents to become licensed insurance professionals.

Since operations began in 2009, Elephant has hired 1,507 people and generated double-digit growth rates in all of its existing states. The expansion has been most pronounced in Texas, where many Texans are realizing the great auto insurance savings and service they can achieve through Elephant's mantra of more care, less cost.

"It's a pleasure to announce this investment in the Dallas Fort Worth area, where the labor force is well educated, friendly, hard-working, honest, analytical, and creative," Kevin Chidwick, CEO of Elephant, said in a statement. "We are excited to start recruiting for our brand new office in Carrollton, helping people build a long and rewarding career with Elephant."

A 2016 winner of The Richmond Times Dispatch Top Work Places Award, Elephant is looking to bring its unique work culture to Dallas. In the 2016 Great Place to Work survey - 86% of employees state "Taking everything into account, I would say this is a great place to work" and 95% believe that it is a friendly place to work.

Elephant believes that people who like what they do, do it better, and offers competitive starting salaries as well as a comprehensive benefits package, educational support programs, a generous parental leave policy, and community engagement. All employees are shareholders, receiving a free stock plan operated by the Admiral Group.
