Compensation Summary:

• Salary equivalent to four (4) weeks of full‑time employment, based on an annualized salary of $65,000
• Training completion bonus of $15,000, contingent on successful completion of MBA Development

Program Details:

• Corporate housing accommodations

Licensing, Training, and Position Requirements:

• Goosehead will cover the one‑time cost of required training courses and exam fees for obtaining your insurance license
