As one of the largest mutual insurance companies—operating for more than 150 years in the U.S.—Guardian possesses many attributes which makes us a particularly viable employer for you to consider during your career search.

Guardian is a thriving enterprise which enjoys ongoing growth, as is evident by our exemplary ratings from four major credit rating organizations— A.M. Best, Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, and Fitch.* Even during a recession, Guardian was the only major life insurance company upgraded by two ratings agencies in 2008.

As a mutual company, Guardian operates solely for the benefit of its participating life policyholders, who share in the company's performance through the payment of annual dividends.¹ Unlike stock-based companies, there are no outside stockholders to share in the profits, so Guardian is not subject to the short-term demands of Wall Street.
