I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Farmers Insurance Group (San Diego, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
I was contacted from a Human Resources representative, and then had an interview scheduled. I meet with HR recruiter the week they contacted me. Farmer's Insurance seems to really support their new agents. I liked learning this about the company, but I am not looking to build my own business. I am looking for work as an insurance CSR. With the Farmer's CSR positions the company recommends the agents pay their licensed workers $16 to $18 an hour. I think this is a fair wage. The problem is when the agents extend their offers, it could (and probably will be) for a lower hourly rate with the promise of a cut of commission. For me personally, the agent offering the CSR position was only offering part time and a much lower base than I can financially manage with. I had to pass this time, but I left with a positive impression and good information from my Farmer's interview.
Good experience -interview was difficult but they allowed plenty of time to get questions and nerves out , not your average interview questions are intensive so be prepared to be thrown curve balls
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Farmers Insurance Group in June 2025
Interview
This company is notorious for putting you through the whole process and then pulling away last minute. Claims they only needed one interview, however they lied and brought me back in for another interview. Unprofessional and ultimately went with someone is fluent in being bilingual. If that is what you need then be transparent from the beginning.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
We need someone who can start right away, are you willing to start within the next 30 days?
I interviewed at Farmers Insurance Group (Las Vegas, NV)
Interview
I am a licensed insurance agent. I heard about this position from a friend who also works for a a Farmers agency, but a different one. When I sat down to start the interview, the 1st question the agency owner asked was "So what church do you go to?"
I was obviously taken aback, and answered "I don't go to church." He then quickly shuffled some paperwork and changed the subject to the details of the position.
I later learned that he and the other office staff were all LDS (Latter Day Saints), and I didn't stay very long!
