Customer Service Advisor

Why USAA?

Let’s do something that really matters.

We have an important mission: serving the members of the military community and their families. It’s both a chance to say thank you and the opportunity to put your talents to work in a meaningful way. To do it right, we need the right people. We’re looking for those who share our values of honesty, integrity, loyalty and service. Because what we do is just as important as how we do it. Come be a part of what makes us so special!

It is all about learning and growing.

Our Insurance Customer Service role may be a new career for you. There’s a lot to learn, but the journey is mapped out and USAA is willing to invest in you! Our comprehensive, fully paid twelve-week training program includes all training materials, class discussions, hands-on training, e-learning modules, and the instructor led guidance will help you to support our membership independently.

Our in-office development program provides the training you need and the encouragement to create a proactive and independent support style to service our membership. After six months in-office, you’ll have the opportunity to work from home 2 days a week. The actual onsite days are settled between each employee and their manager.

Phoenix candidates must successfully prepare for and pass the Property & Casualty (P&C) state licensing exam before their hire date. USAA provides all study materials for the licensing prep course and the state license exam fees for up to three attempts.

For new hires starting in January, February or March we are offering a signing bonus of $2,000. Bonuses will be paid in two equal installments of $1,000 after 45 days of employment and after one year of employment.
