September 22, 2025 2 minute read

We are thrilled to share that we have once again been named in the annual Best Places to Work in Insurance for 2025. This is the third time we have received this honor, with previous awards in 2021 and 2023.

This recognition celebrates employers who create workplaces where employees can thrive, feel engaged, and contribute to growth. We are deeply grateful to our team, whose dedication and spirit are the true reasons behind this award.

We were recognized for our strong company culture, high employee engagement, and a team of motivated co-workers. Our programs, both onsite and virtual, support wellness, leadership development, and work/life balance. Community service is also central to our culture, as we actively participate in and promote service opportunities throughout Maine and New Hampshire.

“Our culture is built on teamwork, collaboration, communication, and recognition. We care for our co-workers above all else, and we truly see one another as family,” says Dottie Chalmers Cutter, 4th Generation Owner and Vice President of Operations.

For more than 165 years, we have offered an individualized approach to insurance. We take the time to understand our clients and guide them through the process step by step. Our commitment to doing the right thing, treating people the right way, and living out our values has shaped our culture and continues to guide us. When clients join us, they become part of the family.

We are humbled to be included among the companies recognized this year and celebrate this award as a reflection of the incredible people who make our workplace what it is.
