What Associates Say

At RLI, we know it’s the people behind the products and processes who bring our mission to life. So we asked them to explain why RLI is a good company to work for, do business with, and invest in. Here are excerpts of their answers:

"It's easy to give your best when you work with the best."

"RLI Transportation is composed of an extraordinary team of very talented individuals that I have the good fortune to work with," says Brenda. And it looks like talent loves company. Both home and branch office staff rely on Brenda for her smarts, dedication and cooperation to make any project a success. "Every day represents new and exciting challenges for me as I look forward to building and maintaining relationships with other RLI associates," she adds.

"I like knowing that I helped someone."

"I like making a difference," says Cindy. "It's what motivates me in every position I've held at RLI." And what a difference she's made. Cindy brings her development experience and business analyst's perspective to finding solutions for branch support with eSubmissions and other applications. She adds, "When I see other people with strong desires to make a difference and to be their best, it inspires me to be better."

"Once the RLI opportunity opened up, I never looked back."

"RLI has given me the chance to handle much more complex claims and situations. Plus, I have developed an understanding of underwriting and various other factors that influence the insurance field. RLI provides a wide range of opportunities. But the key, I believe, is working with a group of hard-working people who are positive, caring and flexible to accept change. That's what will provide you with a great work environment. At RLI, because you are an owner, you want all phases of the company to succeed."

"At RLI, I feel I'm part of the company."

"I was first hired as a temporary employee and later became full time at RLI. Throughout the years, my manager always encouraged me to take various training programs and classes to enhance my computer skills and insurance knowledge, which has helped me achieve my career objectives. I am impressed with RLI's management because they look for feedback from their employees and are willing to adopt new ideas to improve the process and efficiency for the company. Plus, RLI recognizes employees who have outstanding performance and achievement. RLI truly grasps the team concept and the 'can do' spirit."

"RLI is a great company to work for."

"I enjoy the work I do because it's challenging and almost every day is different," says Jeri. But what's always the same is her ability to roll up her sleeves, dig in and learn every facet of a new challenge so she can tackle it with complete confidence. That confidence is contagious: All who work with Jeri have absolute faith in everything she does ? they know they can count on her to get things done the best way possible.

"I get enthused about the people at RLI."

"From passing people in the halls to talking to people in the branches, everyone makes me feel good about the job I do here," says Jennifer. And what a job she does. Believing that knowledge isn't information unless it is shared, Jennifer created a new law department handbook for handling filings and litigation. As a result, everyone's more informed, and she keeps processes running with efficiency, fun and professionalism.
