Too many changes needed.

Pros

Farmers is a financially stable company with a long history. In, the industry they have had some of the best investment returns and have not had the loss problems that many competitors have had.

Cons

Constantly changing strategy which is only communicated after the fact. Raises and promotions are very small. With the recent move to pay for performance, the goals are set so high that they effectively have removed that portion of pay from your overall compensation. Overall, the company is behind the industry and IT is horrible. 3 versions old of Lotus notes is currently used. This was just upgraded.

Pros

Good reasons to work for Farmers are some of the job perks of a claims adjuster such as company vehicle, laptop, and cell phone. The perks come in handy and are by far the better of the benefits. Having a fair job really depends on the office. Good support from fellow co worker and informative when answers are needed.

Cons

Downsides of working there is similar with any claims job such as being swamped with claims and fighting through it. Particularly difficult in dealing with irate claimants or insureds and also trying to deal with body shops or contractors when it comes to defining the bottom line. Other downside is their recent change of their benefits package and time off policies, it is significantly different than what was offered before and unfortunately does not benefit the majority of employees.

Pros

Very solid exposure to financial analysis, in addition to a solid corporate culture, and much room to grow. My co-workers made the office a very lively place and provided many opportunities for positive collaboration on projects. It is very easy to get promoted to a "Senior Financial Analyst" which has no additional bearings outside of the title. While most of these promotions do not entail salary raises, the acknowledgment is definitely a positive thing and the fact that the company doles out promotions echoes the importance they place on recognizing their hard-working employees. Overall, I was very satisfied with my work here.

Cons

It seems as though there is a bit of a "glass ceiling" for those employees without MBA's from highly regarded B-Schools.
