"The merger of the three Cleveland County School Systems in January, 2004 presented an opportunity for the finance and human resource departments to evaluate existing programs, plans and providers relative to employee benefits. Since all three school systems were satisfied with their existing plans and providers, we determined that customer service would be a major factor in selecting one flexible benefits provider for the merged system. In addition, we wanted our employees to be given an opportunity to continue any existing plans from their former provider. As we moved forward in our selection process, it became evident to our committee that Wellington Benefits could best meet our needs.

Your staff did and continues to do an outstanding service for our school system. You were able to convert, merge, consolidate or continue existing plans without any major glitches."

"Lincoln County Schools has had the pleasure of working with Wellington Benefits, a member of the First Financial Group since 1995. During this time, they have been managing our Cafeteria Beenfits Plan, as well as our tax-deferred annuities. Lincoln County School employees have never felt pressured to participate int eh plan, or to 'buy' policies, etc. Wellington's goal is to educate the employees so that they are in a position to understand the various programs available to them.

I consider them to be more of a partner that that of just being a vendor. They are customer focused, and have also been very accommodating in taking care of employees' questions.

I highly recommend Wellington Benefits, a member of the First Financial Group to anyone."

"Wellington Benefits/First Financial Gropu has provided our Section 125 plan and administration for over 10 years. The company provides medical and dependent care reimbursement, and several insurance products such as vision, dental, disability, gap and life insurance.

We recently solicited bids for plan administrators and chose to continue with Wellington because of their excellent services, range of products available, and willingness to improve their product as new services become available.

I would enthusiastically recommend Wellington as a Section 125 plan provider."

In that time, they have provided turnkey services including, communicating information about new products, hands-on annual enrolment as well as accurate and timely billing information for our payroll department. Wellington's toll-free customer service line also relieves our office of dealing with policy issues and questions.

I look forward to working with Wellington Benefits for many years to come and I highly recommend them as your benefit administrator."

"I want to commend your company and staff for the outstanding product offering and service that our employees have experienced. The 125 Flexible Benefit Plan provide through Wellington Benefits is second to none. Our employees are offered a broad range of products at affordable.

Aside from the fact that Wellington Benefits offers high quality and affordable products, the company's greatest asset are its people. Your staff is always knowledgeable and caring their presentations and interactions with our employees. Wellington's representatives have always been professional during the individual meetings, never trying to pressure staff into purchasing a product. They educate and provide information that allows the employee to make a decision based on their individual need and circumstance.

The service we have experienced from your staff has been outstanding. A phone call is all it takes to get personal and answers to questions in a reasonable time frame. The representatives from Wellington are some of the best examples of how customer service should be handled everywhere.

Any organization considering providing a 125 Flexible Benefit Plan for their employees would be remiss if they do not consider Wellington Benefits as the provider."
