      Not Perfect, but overall a great place to work.

      Pros

      1. The benefits are outstanding! (Vacation accrual is the best in the business! You have lots of opportunities to take a lot of a vacation, even after being there only a year. Health benefits are excellent as well.) 2. Competitive Salary and Compensation. (Farmers is in line with what other companies offer, in some cases a little bit more. Eligible full time employees also have the opportunity to participate in Farmers Profit Sharing program, which is surprisingly good.) 3. Lots of opportunity for growth and development. (Like the company, but don't like your position? Being a large company, Farmers has lots of departments and there are always openings. Although the exact position you may want may not be available all the time, there are plenty of opportunities for openings. If you are willing to relocate, the opportunities are almost endless. 4. Training Program is top notch. (I worked for 2 other insurance companies prior to coming to Farmers. Farmers has been the best so far. They invest a lot of money and time into training their employees. I trained for over 3 months before I started in my position.) 5. Good upper management (With most companies, upper management says they care about their employees but their actions clearly indicate the opposite. Not at Farmers. Farmers upper management says they care and I get the feeling they really do. They are by no means perfect. And there are times they make decisions to do things that aren't very popular on the front lines. But, they listen to constructive feedback and if it's possible to change, they change. Insurance is a tough business, sometimes tough decisions have to be made that aren't the most popular, but I do get the feeling upper management looks out for the company as a whole.

      Cons

      1. Claims can be rough. (It is no secret that people working in the claims department are generally not the happiest bunch. It is a tough job. As a claims adjuster, you have to tell people bad news; it is part of the job. You are working with all different types of people too. Claims can be stressful. 2. Performance Reviews. (For the most part they are fair. However there are portions of your performance reviews that are based entirely on the actions or feelings of others. I wish there was a way to change this.) 3. If you don't like change, don't work at Farmers. (Personally, I don't mind change. I like it. If you don't like change though, don't go to Farmers. Farmers is constantly changing the way the day-to-day operations and their way of doing business. Most of the time, it is for the better. The joke at the company is, if you don't like something, wait a few months and it will likely change.)

      Pros

      The pay was good and the trainers were very nice. Other than that, not much was worth a pro comment.

      Cons

      While the trainers were nice it didn't feel like you got the training you needed. When they put you on the floor to handle actual claims by people with real problems you had no idea what you were doing. There was nobody to talk to about this except for the people working beside you and they are normally busy. My supervisor was a jerk who was never at his desk so you could talk to him about problems handling claims. Also not for the highly stressed people as you will be cussed out numerous times from the people with their claims.
