Pros
I've been at Farmers for more than a decade. The changes inside the company during that time have been astounding . I really feel our leadership understands what they need to do to attract and keep talent in this rapidly changing marketplace. They've relaxed the dress code, improved technology, reworked benefits and really focused on diversity and inclusion efforts at all levels of the company. I've never really felt the desire to leave (which I had at both previous employers). Things I like:
- I'm extremely challenged in my role.
- I feel my talents are being used to the fullest extent.
- I feel valued.
- I got a lot of time off (I actually struggle to use the 30 days I receive each year).
- I get to work at home a lot.
- I'm given a lot of autonomy in my role.
- I'm given opportunity.
- I get to support my community and my favorite charities on behalf of Farmers.
- I feel fairly compensated.Cons
- Work/life balance can be a little off. Sometimes I ask, "what balance?"
- Benefits are decent. Probably could be better. My litmus test is that I perceive my husband's employer-provided benefits better than what I receive.
- Offices outside of Home Office (Los Angeles) have less opportunity than Home Office, especially in my business unit.Advice to Management
Keep working to transform the company for the better.

I worked at Farmers Insurance Group full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Great 401k match, other benefits average
Cons
Too much nepotism. Advancement based on political skills rather than ability to lead or even knowledge of the business. Very little practical coaching or mentoring if you are looking to get ahead, just vague cliches about "we promote the best", even though that definition changes depending on the month and who they want to promote.
Advice to Management
Open up Supervisor and management jobs to multiple candidates instead of your pre-selected pool- force yourselves to actually seriously consider candidates who are not already "favorites".

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Farmers Insurance Group full-time (More than 3 years)
Pros
I love the opportunities that Farmers offers; they promote education, growth, activities in the community, and I just really like what I do.
Cons
The starting pay is $12 for a CSR position with no benefits (and IF your agency offers them, they are terribly expensive) and getting a raise is next to impossible. They are now expecting CSRs to get licensed but aren't raising pay.
Advice to Management
Pay a living wage please.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at Farmers Insurance Group full-time (More than a year)
Pros
It’s a great company, there is a lot of growth. They promote wishin. There opportunities to establish your own agency as long as you meet quota.
Cons
Many of the agents are new to the insurance business. They have between 1-2 experience, which means there is a lack of order in some agencies.
