Fraternal benefit society offering life insurance, annuities, and retirement planning to 700,000+ members
Modern Woodmen of America is a member-owned fraternal benefit society that bundles life insurance, annuities, and retirement planning with community involvement programs. The hiring mix is heavily skewed toward sales (697 of 776 active roles), with downstream challenges in recruiter retention and member acquisition—suggesting the distribution model, not the product suite, is the growth constraint. Tech stack is traditional (Office, Teams, Adobe)—no recent platform adoption or infrastructure investments visible.
