Pros

Salaries are OK, benefits are good. I worked for these guys for over 18 years and loved it for the first 10 - 12 years. if you're lucky you will work in one of the few service areas that is not constantly under water and gasping for air.

Cons

Zero employee loyalty. A major reduction in force just took place and it was a bloodbath. FIG is extremely top heavy at the upper management level and extremely understaffed at the rank and file level - the ones who actually do all the work. You will be told you cannot be ranked as an "Exceeds goals" employee if you do not put in at least 60-70 hours a week, work nights ("that's why we give you a laptop") and it is looked down upon if you do not work at least one of your weekend days. You are expected to take your laptop/company cell phone with you on vacation and "stay on top of things" while vacationing with your family. Zurich owns Farmers. They need to come in an clean house from the current CEO to whomever in HR decides that the behavior/attitudes towards the employee is acceptable. This was such a wonderful and great company to work for many many years but now it us unrecognizable. They have lost their way and seem to be unable to figure out what it is they truly want to do and who they want to be.

Pros

I've been with Farmers for 3 years and I've grown a lot working under various agents

Cons

You need to be able to adapt quickly, it's not necessarily a farmers thing. It's the insurance industry as a whole.

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.
