About Us:
GUARD is a national Property & Casualty Insurance Company that writes and services policies in all 50 states and has more than 700 employees – with people being hired daily. About 80-85% of our staff is based in Wilkes-Barre.
Remaining close to our roots, we’re headquartered in the city . . . and just purchased a new 10-story complex at 39 Public Square to accommodate our growth. We are very much in a growth mode . . . and are constantly looking for talented employees from a wide range of disciplines – many not typically associated with insurance.
As an insurance carrier, we have a variety of career opportunities in various disciplines from Customer Service to IT Professionals and entry level positions in Underwriting and Claims, to mention just a few.
While we certainly want business majors, we also need nurses, programmers, English majors, lawyers, mathematicians, actuaries, engineers, and more. Being bi-lingual is an increasingly important skill.
We offer challenging careers with growth potential, competitive salaries, and excellent benefits, including a 401 (k) and profit-sharing plan. For every five years of service, we even pay for a vacation – our way of saying thank you!
Most importantly, we offer a family-friendly culture in a technically sophisticated environment with world-class operations that will constantly challenge you to realize your full potential.
To what do we attribute our success? Strong leadership and a dedicated, talented staff.

We are also holding a special Customer Service Job Fair at our facility on October 18th. Consider attending to hear more. During one recent job fair, one in four attendees got hired! In 2018, 19 members of our Customer Service staff got promoted to new roles. You, too, might find this department to be an excellent way of launching your new career.
