Pros

Direct supervisors and managers were quite supportive and appreciative. Tendency to look at internal candidates first for opportunities commendable. Good transportation options (plenty of parking, very convenient to major bus stops). Cash bonus program when I was there nice surprise.

Cons

Typical for insurance companies, technology a couple of steps behind the times. Rank-and-file employees underpaid; unless you have a major position, this is not the place for a household's primary breadwinner. Upper management (from both Los Angeles home office and my office) not good at establishing clear strategies, and they are especially poor at communicating to the rank-and-file. This leads to a sense of disconnect at best ... and betrayal at worst. (A major layoff when the company didn't make much of a disappointing quarter poisoned the atmosphere, and the way the dispatched employees were literally kicked to the curb was distasteful.) That's a good reason why the employees tend to whine. Large percentage of agents tend to treat the employees poorly, as well.

Pros

I've been with Farmers for 3 years and I've grown a lot working under various agents

Cons

You need to be able to adapt quickly, it's not necessarily a farmers thing. It's the insurance industry as a whole.

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.
