About Western & Southern Financial Group

Western & Southern Financial Group, a Cincinnati insurance and investment group with roots in the nineteenth century, sells life insurance, annuities and retirement products through member companies such as Gerber Life, Lafayette Life, Integrity Life and Western & Southern Life; this board reads its home office and subsidiary openings, not the career agent seats in Western & Southern Life's field offices, which recruit through a separate sales portal. Its consumer selling happens on the phone at Gerber Life: a licensed insurance sales representative takes inbound calls generated by TV ads, direct mail, web and partner marketing, calls prospects and existing policyholders, keys the application and cross-sells other Gerber Life cover, either on the sales floor in Fremont, Michigan or from home in a fixed list of states. Those reps answer to assistant sales managers in its Cincinnati contact center who own the team's yearly production and coach from monitored calls, and Cincinnati also hires service and sales associates who handle policy service but recommend life and annuity products when a caller needs one. On the wholesale side, Lafayette Life's regional sales vice presidents recruit and keep independent general agents across a territory, train them on whole life and annuity products and work in tandem with an internal wholesaler, while W&S Financial Group Distributors, the wholesaler of the group's annuities and life policies to broker-dealers, banks and independent agents, takes sales coordinators who push new business through and report on agent and territory production, plus summer sales desk interns. Phone sales seats require a life and health license at hire and appointments in most states within the first weeks, and the sales openings are in the US.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.

Pay at Western & Southern Financial Group

Stated by the company, checked 2026-10-30
Stated per posting

From our research: stated by the company, checked 30 Oct 2026

Read from its postings on 30 Oct 2026: Only the Long Beach regional sales vice president posting prints pay, as a single posted hiring base rather than a range, with the group's standard note that the figure is the targeted base for hiring, that the final base is set with internal pay equity in mind and that sales roles earn incentives which can lift total pay above base. The Gerber Life phone sales, service and sales, sales coordinator and intern postings in Ohio, Michigan and South Carolina name no pay and no commission plan, though the phone rep posting asks for someone motivated by the ability to earn money. Ask a phone sales recruiter whether the seat is hourly or salaried, whether the incentive is paid per policy or on premium, whether evening and holiday shifts carry a differential and who pays for the multi-state appointments; ask a wholesaling recruiter what part of total pay the incentive makes up at target and whether it rides on premium placed by the region's general agents or on new agents recruited.
