Pros

I really have nothing too good to say about Farmers. I hear that the pay is good when compared to the industry as a whole, but I can't say that it's good considering I work in Orange County CA .

Cons

This company has unrealistic expectations for everyone including management. There really is no way to excel because the bar is always being raised. When does a company realize that there are plateaus and incremental growth is all that can be expected. The company lost their wage law lawsuit so now they can't work someone 80 hours a week. So now they expect the same workload to be done in 40 hours, and they are stingy on the overtime. In fact, "workload is not justification for overtime!" What else could possibly be more justifiable. And now they are raiding the benefits package and passing it off as a benefit for the employees. Sure they can sell the PR line that they are actually paying more, but really what they are saying is that while the current package would cost the company 15% more next year due to rising healthcare costs, they are cutting benefits and only increasing their costs 1% this upcoming year.

Pros

Farmers once had a solid reputation, but that has declined since Zurich became involved.

Cons

The company is effectively taking the benefit of years of hard work that prior agents invested to grow their businesses and increase Farmers’ policy count. When I started as an agency owner, I invested my own time and money into advertising and building a book of business with the understanding that the sacrifices would pay off over time through renewal commissions. I believed this would create long-term value—something I could eventually rely on to support my retirement. Instead, the constant changes to commission structures and ongoing requirements to continue receiving compensation on business I personally produced—without support—have been incredibly discouraging. It feels like a moving target, and one that diminishes the value of what agents have built. I’ve never been in a position where meetings are held to explain how and why compensation will be reduced or taken away. That reality is deeply frustrating and disheartening.
