Pros

I have access to a company car to give Farmers free advertising but I use it for all my personal errands during the day, child care, school, shopping and then work. I also use charge Farmers for gas I use in my personal vehicle. Farmers supervisors are ignorant and only 1-2 really audit your expenses. I also have access to use the company laptop for gambling online and surfing porn, free aircard, so I can access while on vacation too. I also use the company cell phone for all personal calls and have returned my own cell phone as all calls are made with company phone.

Cons

The upper management sets unrealistic goals for the field to attempt to achieve for performance reviews. Supervisors are very unqualified and set themselves in a holier than thou mindset, particularly when they are wrong or unknowledgeable about claims procedures. I find that certain supervisors in the Daly City office try to talk down to you pretending to be your friend but stabbing you in the back with upper management. Also, they will try to make life difficult with assignments and unreasonable requests if you start to exceed expectations and shoot you back down. This crappy management in place also plays favorites with a wife of a sales agent.

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.
