Pros

decent benefits/mid wilshire office /some nice people still working here

Cons

While with this organization's corporate headquarters office in Los Angeles, CA - I actually had 4 different bosses, physically relocated 5 times and encountered significant stress, challenges and observed the most incredibly low levels of morale and employee satisfaction I have ever seen in my 20 years of working for a variety of organizations (Including corporate offices such as: American Honda, Toyota and Kenwood). The level of infighting, back-stabbing, gossip and political smoke and mirrors was horendous and again I have never seen it to the degree I did here. Whether it was the economy, the corporate merger with Zurich or much too much favoritism - bad manners, bad management, bad attitudes and bad days were a norm here. However, it was my understanding that it was not always as such, many a long-time employee raved about the days when Farmers was a family; and I believe some of those favored family members are still around - provided they could endure the game-playing, the changing of the guard and keep a smile on their faces regardless of the thunderstorms they encountered.

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.
