Pros

Somewhat flexible work schedule. Intensive orientation.

Cons

Ongoing training is practically non-existent or impractical after orientation. Low pay compared to similar positions at other companies. Health benefits are expensive (high deductibles and high premiums). High stress environment, difficult to maintain healthy work/life balance. Workload can vary drastically week to week, but you must work exactly 40 hours every week (even if you have '50 hours' worth of work to do). This has lead to employees working while clocked out for lunch in order to get everything done. Heavy emphasis on productivity, virtually no emphasis on customer service or quality of work. High turn over rate. Poor communication and change management. Information is practically delivered through the childhood "telephone game", where each person modifies the content to their liking, prior to passing it on to the next person. This has created huge inconsistencies in how claims are to be handled.

Pros

Farmers is pushing forward to increase brand awareness across the country. From its new NASCAR partnership, to the Farmers Insurance Open PGA Tournament and its expansion into East Coast markets.

Cons

It's slow to adopt technology and give employees access, such as Facebook and Twitter. Also not all employees have use the same version of Microsoft Office; some have 2003 and some 2007. Same goes for Lotus Notes.

Pros

Most of the supervisors and co-workers are great to work with, but the management is another thing. You have a select few managers that came up and want to do the right thing for their people, but in the end they're forced to do the wrong thing

Cons

Unrealistic expectations which causes adjusters to find ways to cheat to get the goals. Not respecting their employees. The removal of managers that get things done right, and replacing them with henchman
