Pros

Good Commercials, this is where it ends....

Cons

After many years of very hard work building a great business under horrible and constant rate increases, the company just comes in and takes the business from us and gives it to a younger, untrained agent (Seed Program). We built the agency with all our life long contacts, friends and family. The clients are only with Farmers because of us. Farmers is a big scam. They tell you if you work really hard, you can make lots of money and retire young on your renewals and focus on large cases, estate planning, commercial, investments etc. only to find out after we invested big money in our own building and agency that it's all a lie. Zurich (who owns Farmers) has used Farmers as a cash cow and raped it. American families have suffered greatly under Farmers. Founders John C. Tyler and Thomas E. Leavey would be ashamed of what their once great company has turned into! It is immoral. Run, don't walk from Farmers.

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.
