Pros

They have great benefits and the pay is definitely competitive

Cons

High turnover and employee burnout. As new hires quickly realize they're in over their heads and leave, the adjusters left behind are drowned in claims. Those of us that don't quit because we need the money are either working almost 7 days a week just to try to stay current on workload or having to go on leaves of absence due to extreme stress/anxiety of being forced to meet unrealistic metrics with no end in sight to how many more claims will get dumped on you when another person quits. They can't retain employees because of this. Metrics mean more to the company than you or the customers, and even if you're meeting them, you can't win. Either you closed the claim too quickly to meet the cycle time metric or your preliminary repair estimate was not good enough and you should have gathered more information...while your emails are blowing up, your phone is ringing off the hook, and your stuck each week in 1-2 hrs worth of meetings to discuss why you all suck and what knee-jerk reaction changes they're making next that they'll expect you to do... immediately. No excuses, no leniency. Just perform or die. Trust me, if you stay here as long as I have, it's very likely you may die due to what this place does to your mental and physical health. Also, if you do have any trouble with meeting metrics, forget about trying to apply for a different position internally to save yourself, you won't be considered.

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.
