Pros
-In my position, I work from home and that is a huge plus -My schedule is flexible (I'm a salaried employee) -My manager doesn't micromanage-you get your job done however you need to, in as many hours as you need to -Company provided vehicle -The University of Farmers training is great! Informative, fun, and you get to travel to Los Angeles for it -Farmers not only supports obtaining higher education (insurance designations), but will pay for it and give you bonuses once complete -The company is very involved with various charities, especially The March of Dimes -Unlike other well-known insurance companies, Farmers doesn't do restructuring every couple of years (ie management layoffs and demotions, only to do a mass manager hiring a few years later...and repeat) -I truly felt welcomed when I was hired, not only by my direct managers, but by the company as a whole. They do a good job of reaching out to you and thanking you for joining the team.
Cons
-The claims computer program (system used by anyone in any sort of claims capacity) is a bit complicated to use. It provides a lot of information, but not user friendly -I don't like not being able to find a job salary grid on their intranet. One can find job descriptions, but the salary ranges aren't readily available (I like to know what my earning potential is; it keeps me motivated) -Depending on the position, your initial training may drag out and become boring (but I suppose it is better to have too much training, rather than not enough)
