Pros

The only reason for working at Farmers, is the existing employees that have worked for the company. A family like atmosphere in the offices. Still great friends, even though I have a problem with the company.

Cons

Downside with Farmers is they play mental games with the employees, objectives that are almost impossible to meet. Employees are always working under the threat of losing their job. In the office where I worked, all employees including supervisors were under an action plan because of not meeting objectives. Upper management does not care about employees, middle management will do whatever it takes to get a promotion. It is a very stressful environment to work in. Those that stay, do so because they have so many years in with the company, but probably should leave for their health. The company wanted to downsize in 2010, to do this, they fired employees throughout the company to avoid unemployment and severance pay.

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.
