Western & Southern Financial Group is a Fortune 500 diversified financial services company founded in 1888 and headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio. What began as a door-to-door life insurance operation has grown into a group of 11 member companies operating from a downtown Cincinnati campus, with 107 offices across 23 states and Washington D.C.
The company's product range spans life insurance, annuities, mutual funds, and investment services, with a focus on middle-market clients served through face-to-face relationships. Associates work directly with families on long-term financial planning, reflecting an institutional emphasis on sustained customer relationships over quick transactions.
Western & Southern has a notable record of employee retention, marked by a Legion Day tradition that formally recognises associates who have dedicated decades to serving policyholders. The benefits package includes a defined benefit pension plan, 401(k) matching, and paid parental leave - a combination that reflects the company's long-term orientation internally as well as externally. The structure of 11 member companies also creates meaningful pathways for career development and internal mobility across a broad family of businesses.
