BayPort Insurance Agency, an independent insurance agency that is a subsidiary of BayPort Credit Union, is seeking a Licensed Insurance Sales Agent to join our growing team. If you're sales driven, looking for a way to determine your own income and dislike cold calling, this is the job for you.
We are seeking self-motivated, tech savvy professionals to join our successful insurance division as a Licensed Insurance Sales Agent.
