Company History
National Life celebrates its Vermont roots. We believe National Life has prospered over the past 160 years because of - not in spite of - our location. At our core we retain the drive, the sense of purpose and sense of responsibility that prompted our founders in 1848 to create not only one of the first mutual life insurance companies in the United States, but the first with a national vision.
Benefits
Our company highly values community and the environment. We offer a variety of benefits that are far from common. For instance, each employee receives up to 40 hours of paid volunteer time, and the company provides incentives for employees to use alternate forms of transportation, such as gas cards for car poolers and preferred parking for fuel efficient vehicles.
Opportunity and development are more than just words to us. We offer tuition reimbursement, support for achievement of professional designations, and the newly established National Life University, offering a variety of courses for personal and professional growth.
Work is just one part of our busy lives. To help our employees maintain balance, many departments offer alternative hours when business needs allow. At our corporate headquarters in Montpelier, we provide additional amenities, such as onsite fitness facilities, near-site day care, a lactation room, and a cafeteria run by the award-winning New England Culinary Institute.
