Pros

Learn about insurance. Some training available

Cons

Pressure you into changing contracts so they basically own everything you do. It's only your business from the standpoint that you pay to do it. Outside of that Farmers owns everything you do under the new contracts. By their own numbers, only 2% of Farmers agents make it to a store front and make it 2 years and even less make it to year 5. Farmers has more agents in bankruptcy than the other 3 major insurers combined, with an average debt to start your "free" business of $120,000. They essentially use new agents as a sales tool for themselves asking them to sign up their entire family, near and extended, where the agent makes $0 and they keep all the money. I worked for Farmers for 40 years. This company has turned to garbage.

Pros

Work from home, make your own hours, fun claim types, starts off with great PTO allotment and you have access to all your hours from the moment you start with an extra week after five years

Cons

Good luck with your diaries if you use the PTO. You will come back with overdue items. The way they have their PTO backup system setup is two backup people for the whole department. There is too much work for them so they don't get to much while you are out. Usually voicemails. You can' schedule anything for while you are gone, all your claims have to wait for you to return. The amount of new claims a week has drastically increased and it isn't sustainable. They do expect you to work more than your 40 hours or recommend that you find a different job that isn't a salary position, PTO calendars are always red with blackout dates. Supervisors and the manager don't listen to actionable items presented to make the department better. The attrition is bad, but they continue to tell us we are fully staffed because our diaries aren't that bad yet. Adjusters are dropping like flies but won't hire anymore. Not sure if that comes from senior leadership or direct leadership. Ever since Jeff Dailey left, we are just numbers. No one cares about us anymore and it is evident.
