Pros

Fairly relaxed environment and ability to make the job what you want (within reason). Okay on salary (so long as you negotiate well) Strong drinking culture (pro and con) Lots of nice, competent, decent people (equally lots of irritating, incompetent people...)

Cons

Inexperienced managers/heads of - tell you what you want to hear with no intention of delivering on promises. Look after only themselves and not afraid to throw you under the bus. Senior Leadership very slow to make strategic decisions Gossip culture - everyone knows things they shouldn’t, such as a colleagues performance review or their salary, or SMT opinions on other managers, or strategic plans still under discussion. Poor on progression / development 40% gender pay gap! No D and I committee or initiatives in place yet - looking to launch a D and I group this year (H2 2020), very behind the trend

Pros

Farm Family has strong management support at the manager through AVP levels, and coworkers are consistently willing to share their knowledge and expertise. There is a high level of collaboration across cross-functional teams, and agents are knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. The company also supports employee growth by paying for designation and professional development courses.

Cons

Communication during the Farm Family–Argo merger has been inconsistent and unclear, with major changes introduced abruptly and with little consideration for how they impact Farm Family employees. Many of these changes appear to offer no tangible benefit to the Farm Family side, creating confusion and frustration. While funding was allocated for an additional year of 401(k) contributions, there were no corresponding raises despite increased workloads and longer hours, which has felt demoralizing. Leadership communication—particularly from Jim Flinn—often comes across as dismissive and patronizing, rather than respectful of experienced professionals who are deeply invested in their work. Overall morale has suffered significantly; what was once a supportive, family-oriented workplace now feels dominated by uncertainty and corporate detachment.
