Pros

I wasn't in the program long enough to find any pros. Quit after 3 weeks of non stop call center type calling. 250 calls a day, with no training, and no other work duties.

Cons

I was way oversold on the Agency Owner Protege program. Commission and pay was considerably lower than competitors. I received ZERO training. Had it not been for prior experience, I would've been totally lost. I spent 3 weeks making 250 calls a day, and nothing else... I was treated like a smile and dial intern. Horrible experience...

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.
