Client Satisfaction Testimonials
Tampa General Hospital
Chris Roederer
Senior Vice President of Human Resources
“For over 15 years, Brian Smith and his USI Team have provided us outstanding
customer service and creative solution alternatives. The USI underwriting and financial
team have provided crucial budgeting and forecasting assistance. I would recommend
Brian and USI.”
YMCA of the Suncoast
Carol Parks
Senior Vice President/Chief Administration Officer
“Early in my career, I didn't understand the benefits of using a broker over working
directly through the insurance provider. Then I learned not all brokers were
alike. What I've learned since working with Brian and his team for nearly a decade is
that there are many creative solutions to managing and controlling insurance costs. The
resources that we have access to and the influence of USI has resulted in our ability to
have online open enrollment, outsourced COBRA services, reporting services, help
designing our Employee Wellness program and creative solutions to manage our
insurance premiums. While I know there are many brokers out there, I haven't heard of
one that offers more support or is more responsive than Brian and his team.”
TMC (Therapy Management)
Nick Samarkos
Executive Director – Financial Affairs
“We have over 2,000 employees in 300+ locations in 15 states. The Communications
team at USI helped us put together a comprehensive program in print, video, audio, and
Webex, providing our employees a consistent and scalable message. Their Benefit
Resource Center has provided our employees with a confidential resource for resolving
issues, which has given our HR team more time to spend on critical business goals. I
have worked with Brian Smith and his team for over five years and would highly
recommend them.”
Northside Christian School
Heather Brown
Director of Finance & Human Resources
“I wear many hats: HR, finance, recruiting, and many more. I need a consultant who is
willing to “get their hands dirty” for me. For over 10 years, Brian Smith and his team at
USI have done that for us. Their Compliance team has been extremely helpful and has
saved us money on attorney’s fees we may have had to pay. They are always willing to
help in any way they can and I would recommend them.”
