Pros

Large recognizable company. There are people there to help teach and train you about the insurance industry.

Cons

If you want to be an agent there are a lot of lifetime quotas. You need to make sure to read the contract thoroughly before signing. For example, the clause that if you don't make it as a full time agent after X amount of years than you will need to pay back Farmers all subsidy they gave to you in the beginning is on the contract somewhere. I have known starting agents who signed the contract without realizing that there was this part on the contract. High pressure from District Offices for you to become an agent. What they tell you is very different from the realities of becoming an agent. To succeed as a full time agent you will need to put in a lot of time and money. Very low success rates. In addition, the company is constantly creating new rules and regulations which affects agents ability to find new customers. Sometimes, the customer service department for agent are not sure of the rules and not able to help agents.

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.
