Pros

For a long time, with the last CEO, it really was a great place to work. They pivoted and made decisions with the employees in mind. They shared performance bonuses with their employees. They promised fully and permanently remote positions, and encouraged us to make our homes work friendly.

Cons

Now there's a new CEO. And he decided to break that promise and his employees trust. One of his first decisions as CEO was to break the news that people within 50 miles of an office were now required to come in 3 times a week. This includes the Woodland Hills office, which means that people living on the opposite side of LA now have to account for a 4+ hour roundtrip commute. And the worst part is that the ostensive reason of more collaboration is completely untrue, there are entire teams who will have to come into an office simply to interact with the rest of their team through Zoom. Farmers showed a complete disregard for their employees, who put their trust in the company as they made their life decisions, selling cars and starting families. I firmly believe that it's a shady way to do soft layoffs, or quiet firing.

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.
