Based in our Caseyville, IL regional office (a quick 12-minute reverse-commute from downtown STL), we offer the stability of a $3.8MM operation with a culture built on accountability and growth. Why this role is different: We aren't looking for a "cold caller." We have a highly successful Mitigation Division that generates 80% of our reconstruction leads.
