Pros
Farmers is a great company for work life balance. Your time is not micromanaged and you have the ability to complete you job and take care of personal affairs without being questioned. A rare benefit is that company cars are still offered for specific positions. Even better is the ability to work from home if you meet metric targets.
Cons
The downside of Farmers is that pay is less than most other insurance companies. Raises are fairly minimal. I have worked for 5 insurance companies and Farmers has the lowest pay and least opportunity for advancement. The flip side is the "work at home", company car and time flexiblity that retains employees.
