ProSource intends to organize field territories around where qualified employees live whenever practical, reducing unnecessary overnight travel and allowing agents to develop strong familiarity with their assigned communities. Landowner availability occasionally requires early morning, evening or other nontraditional meeting times. Flexibility is therefore an important requirement of the position.

Full-time ProSource employees are eligible for medical, dental and vision insurance; eligible HSA company contributions; paid time off and paid holidays; 401(k) with company contribution; company-paid life and AD&D insurance; company-paid short- and long-term disability insurance; applicable leave benefits; financial education resources; and the company's employee referral bonus program.
