Pros

I've worked with the company for almost two years now and have found there are multiple opportunities for job growth. There are a number of internal training seminars employees are able to attend. I have found the culture is family-like in pretty much all of the office, which makes for a nice work environment. People want to help each other and work toward the business goals together. You need to be able to adapt because things are always moving fast! Argo is really innovative and is trying to expand past just an "insurance company", so I think this is a really cool time to be with the company.

Cons

Scheduling with global offices can be tricky due to all the different time zones. Mergers can be tricky to maneuver sometimes due to the leadership changes (but lots of employee communications are sent out to help).

Pros

Farm Family has strong management support at the manager through AVP levels, and coworkers are consistently willing to share their knowledge and expertise. There is a high level of collaboration across cross-functional teams, and agents are knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. The company also supports employee growth by paying for designation and professional development courses.

Cons

Communication during the Farm Family–Argo merger has been inconsistent and unclear, with major changes introduced abruptly and with little consideration for how they impact Farm Family employees. Many of these changes appear to offer no tangible benefit to the Farm Family side, creating confusion and frustration. While funding was allocated for an additional year of 401(k) contributions, there were no corresponding raises despite increased workloads and longer hours, which has felt demoralizing. Leadership communication—particularly from Jim Flinn—often comes across as dismissive and patronizing, rather than respectful of experienced professionals who are deeply invested in their work. Overall morale has suffered significantly; what was once a supportive, family-oriented workplace now feels dominated by uncertainty and corporate detachment.
