Farmers Insurance Group reviews

There are so many cons to this job it would be hard to list them all. You never have a sense of achievement, if you get sick you get ‘points’ for not planning your absence ahead of time and if someone has planned time already then nobody works on your claims while you are gone and you get behind and then you get written up for getting behind because you got sick. You have to sit all day long, If you get up from your desk you get behind because they hire you and tell you that you will only get so many claims a week and then you actually get twice that many sometimes and no overtime to work them, so you get behind and written up some more. RUN.

While with this organization's corporate headquarters office in Los Angeles, CA - I actually had 4 different bosses, physically relocated 5 times and encountered significant stress, challenges and observed the most incredibly low levels of morale and employee satisfaction I have ever seen in my 20 years of working for a variety of organizations (Including corporate offices such as: American Honda, Toyota and Kenwood). The level of infighting, back-stabbing, gossip and political smoke and mirrors was horendous and again I have never seen it to the degree I did here. Whether it was the economy, the corporate merger with Zurich or much too much favoritism - bad manners, bad management, bad attitudes and bad days were a norm here. However, it was my understanding that it was not always as such, many a long-time employee raved about the days when Farmers was a family; and I believe some of those favored family members are still around - provided they could endure the game-playing, the changing of the guard and keep a smile on their faces regardless of the thunderstorms they encountered.
