CEO Gabriel Tirador highlighted the company's strong culture that promotes growth and innovation. Notable is Mercury's exceptional employee retention, with an average tenure exceeding 12 years - nearly triple the insurance industry average.

Recognition Highlights Mercury's Commitment to Team Members Growth and Company Culture

LOS ANGELES, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mercury Insurance has been awarded a spot on the Forbes list of America's Best Midsized Employers for 2025. This prestigious recognition is made in collaboration with Forbes and Statista, the world-leading statistics portal and industry ranking provider.

Forbes and Statista selected America's Best Midsized Employers 2025 through an independent survey from a vast sample of over 217,000 U.S. team members working for companies employing at least 1,000 people within the U.S. More than 6.5 million employer evaluations were considered.

The final score is based on two types of evaluations: personal (those given by team members themselves) and public (those given by friends and family of team members or members of the public who work in the same industry), with a much higher weighting for personal evaluations.

"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. That culture sparks growth and innovation. We give back to our community every single day by focusing on helping them to prepare for and overcome life's unexpected challenges. At Mercury, we truly care about our customers and each other, and that is the solid foundation upon which Mercury is built."

The Statista surveys collected information across a broad range of topics, giving respondents the opportunity to judge their employer as a whole, based on individual categories. Statista used six primary drivers to identify the top employers. These categories — image, work atmosphere/potential for development, wage/salary, diversity, working conditions and workplace — were then used to determine team members' willingness to recommend their employer to others.

Mercury has prioritized team member experience and career growth since the company first opened in 1962, which has allowed it to build a loyal and diverse workforce that is marked by an average tenure of more than 12 years — nearly three times the average for the insurance industry (per the Bureau of Labor Statistics).

"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, and this award reflects our commitment to creating a workplace where everyone feels valued, supported and empowered. At Mercury, we believe that when our team members thrive, our company thrives, and this recognition is a direct reflection of that philosophy."
