Who We Are
In 1968, Glenn Pierce began serving Public Sector employees, with their benefit needs. His commitment to providing employees the benefits they desired at a reasonable price filled a much-needed void within the public sector.
Joined by sons Donald and Chris, the Pierce family established Pierce Group Benefits, LLC. Today, the family continues with the same dedication and honesty Glenn started with 50 years ago. With over 100 years of combined management experience, Pierce Group Benefits is comprised of 100 full time, dedicated professionals to serve our client’s needs.
OurResults
Pierce Group Benefits is the leading regional provider of employee benefits to the Public Sector. Pierce Group’s buying power is a tremendous advantage to the employees we service. We are able to consistently enhance our clients’ benefits packages a number of ways, often increasing the benefits while reducing or maintaining current rates.

Pierce Group provided a multitude of benefit options for us to consider and was successful in negotiating lower pricing on several of our existing benefits.”
