Pros

When I started at Farmers 10 years ago I expected it to be a stepping stone opportunity. After a couple of months on the job, networking with others in the company I learned why the overall experience with the company is so high. The people are GREAT - everyone truely cares about one another. When you work at a company that continues to have a pension AND a 401K in addition to a company wide bonus program you know that they care about their people and want them to grow with their organization. It is not hard to find peers that have been with the company since they started their careers and you'll hear the same from most of them - that they didn't intend to stay but the culture locked them in.

Cons

At times in the field offices we can get disconnected from the larger operations in L.A., OK City and KS City. Offering similar benefits in our smaller offices would be nice (I.E. employee promotions such as sporting event tickets for exceptional behavior). Although this is difficult to do in smaller offices it would be a nice "atta boy" to reinforce positiveity. I also believe that our leadership team can be at times too removed from the day to day business that drives our company. More time from them in the field, not only talking to us but actually shadowing would be a valuable initiative.

Pros

some supervisors actually care about associates. Decent pay for area. Employees that actually lasted longer than a year cared about each other like family.

Cons

leadership lies to front line agents. They work on a "scale" when it comes to merit increases. Even if you're meeting stats managers require supervisors to drop tiers to hit "quotas". Only X amount of employees can be far exceeds, exceeds, meets, partial meets, and below. Some managers are bullies. HR reps are bullies and unethical and participate in illegal activities. My previous manager was chovanistic, openly degraded and disrespected woman by calling them sluts and bit****. He lead the department so poorly staff had to be reduced by 30% then he left the department. He would talk about wanting to punch and slap associates. Morale was horrible and he hired his drinking buddy who had zero experience in leadership to be a supervisor. Its all about who you know and not how great of a job you perform. Good ol boys club at its finest
