Pros

People! I really enjoyed all my co-workers and my direct boss. My boss was the most knowledgeable person regarding Commercial Insurance I've ever known.

Cons

As stated before, this company is a playground for exec's. As long as you're in the good graces of the CEO and CFO you're fine. When you're out, you're out. Some of the business acquisitions appear to be nothing more than just finding a cool international place to open an office. Upper Management has a 3 to 4 year life cycle. You notice all exec's are within 2 years of hire. Enjoy being the cool kids until you get sideways with Mark.

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.
