Pros

There are none, management expects you to work 50 to 60 hours a week and get compensated for 38 1/2 hrs a week. You are not expected to have a personal life. What was once a good, friendly and helpful family style company is only looking to increase profit-once Zurich Financial Services purchased Farmers it has been on a downhill slid

Cons

Overwork, high case loads, underpaid. Once you hit 15 to 20 yrs of employment, the employee is at high risk of being told they are no longer able to perform their job and unfairly terminated just so that the company can cut back on its compensation to a long time employee. That means less compensation and benefits and a higher margin of profit sharing that goes to management. Management will play favorites-what is granted for some staff is not granted to others.

Pros

Farmers once had a solid reputation, but that has declined since Zurich became involved.

Cons

The company is effectively taking the benefit of years of hard work that prior agents invested to grow their businesses and increase Farmers’ policy count. When I started as an agency owner, I invested my own time and money into advertising and building a book of business with the understanding that the sacrifices would pay off over time through renewal commissions. I believed this would create long-term value—something I could eventually rely on to support my retirement. Instead, the constant changes to commission structures and ongoing requirements to continue receiving compensation on business I personally produced—without support—have been incredibly discouraging. It feels like a moving target, and one that diminishes the value of what agents have built. I’ve never been in a position where meetings are held to explain how and why compensation will be reduced or taken away. That reality is deeply frustrating and disheartening.
