Pros

Farmers brand is pretty strong and they do seem to come through with claims payment for their customers unlike a lot of less reputable insurers. My District Manager's office is very helpful and there if you need them for advice or help.

Cons

Training is very hands off. There are plenty of online resources to use along with the District Manager's office, but there is no structure. Also, compensation is 100% commission (+ loan subsidies once you hit your reserve agent quota which means they're literally taking no risk on you even after you've proven yourself). If you aren't a super extroverted person with a huge network of friends or someone with a large bank account that is willing to spend their own money on marketing, then this might not be the right job for you.

Pros

Work from home, make your own hours, fun claim types, starts off with great PTO allotment and you have access to all your hours from the moment you start with an extra week after five years

Cons

Good luck with your diaries if you use the PTO. You will come back with overdue items. The way they have their PTO backup system setup is two backup people for the whole department. There is too much work for them so they don't get to much while you are out. Usually voicemails. You can' schedule anything for while you are gone, all your claims have to wait for you to return. The amount of new claims a week has drastically increased and it isn't sustainable. They do expect you to work more than your 40 hours or recommend that you find a different job that isn't a salary position, PTO calendars are always red with blackout dates. Supervisors and the manager don't listen to actionable items presented to make the department better. The attrition is bad, but they continue to tell us we are fully staffed because our diaries aren't that bad yet. Adjusters are dropping like flies but won't hire anymore. Not sure if that comes from senior leadership or direct leadership. Ever since Jeff Dailey left, we are just numbers. No one cares about us anymore and it is evident.
