Pros

They have beautiful offices and marketing materials.

Cons

High turnover and a lot of reorganization. There's a reason why there are a lot of openings, it's because the company has no culture. No room for growth. They do not take the time to grow their current talent and would rather outsource or hire externally. There is no real investment in skills growth for the rest of the company, only for executives. Morale is low. Executives are only around now that there is a scandal involving the CEO in the news. Prior to that, there was no real effort to engage with regular employees. Even during the quarterly town hall the CEO is only present once a year. No recognition program. You will not be given any acknowledgement or recognition - another reason morale is low. No parental benefits in the US. This is standard benefit for a company of this size. No annual salary adjustment. Even if you were given a good evaluation on your annual review, unless your given a promotion, you will never get an increase. Again another standard practice for every other company. They do not recycle. The company has a lot of waste and takes no efforts to encourage recycling, paper or otherwise. They actually encourage a lot of single use plastics. They do not have good technology management. There is always something breaking and it takes them a long time to address any issues.

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.
