UPDATE 2/8/21 18:18: It appears that Mutual of Omaha has received all of the applications they need at this time and the ad has been removed. We will post to the site if/when they hire for this position in the future.
Mutual of Omaha — the name always raises warm memories of my family’s Sunday night ritual of gathering around the TV to watch Marlin Perkins on “Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom.” Most of us (I was one of six kids) would lay on the floor — covered in zig-zag patterned afghans my grandmother crocheted. In the winter, our feet were up on the hearth of the fireplace my dad built from field stone found on our property. Daddy and Mommy had the couch and chuckled over how “Jim” had to do all of the hard work while Marlin got all the glory.
Alas, I digress!
As I learned later, Mutual of Omaha is actually a Fortune 500 insurance and financial services company based in Nebraska.
The company currently has openings for Remote Full- and Part-Time Customer Care Analysts.
The hourly pay rate is $16.50 ($17.50 for Spanish bilingual applicants after successful certification).
Training classes begin in April.
Their benefits package includes: Medical, Pharmacy, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, Short- and Long-Term Disability , Accidental Death & Dismemberment, 401(k), Tuition Reimbursement, and more.
The job ad lists “Various Locations” and makes no mention of state hiring restrictions. We’ll update this post if we learn of any excluded states.
Here’s what the company has posted about this opportunity:
“If you’re looking for a career where you have the power to be a positive influence to help others, this is it. As a Customer Care Analyst, you will be the voice of Mutual of Omaha — the voice our customers turn to for clarity, support, and guidance.
