Mercury Insurance has earned a place on Forbes’ list of America’s Best Midsized Employers for 2025, highlighting the company’s focus on workplace culture and employee retention in an industry known for high turnover.
The recognition comes from an independent survey conducted by Forbes and statistics provider Statista, which gathered more than 6.5 million employer evaluations from a sample of over 217,000 U.S. employees working for companies with at least 1,000 workers.
“Our team members have been at the heart of our success for more than 60 years,” said Gabriel Tirador, Mercury Insurance CEO. “When we ask our team what they enjoy most about working at Mercury, the main response is always our culture.”
The Los Angeles-based insurance carrier has maintained an average employee tenure of more than 12 years, nearly triple the industry average according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
Survey respondents evaluated employers across six primary categories: image, work atmosphere and development potential, compensation, diversity, working conditions and workplace environment. These factors determined employees’ willingness to recommend their employer to others.
The final rankings were calculated using both personal evaluations from employees and public ones from friends, family members, and industry peers, with greater weight given to direct employee feedback.
“We are truly honored to receive this recognition and are deeply proud of the exceptional team we’ve built here at Mercury,” said Tirador. “Our team members are at the heart of everything we do.”
Founded in 1962, Mercury Insurance offers personal auto, homeowners, and renters insurance across 11 states, selling directly to consumers and through a network of independent agents. The company has approximately 4,100 employees and 6,500 independent agents.
