Pros
The only reason for working at Farmers, is the existing employees that have worked for the company. A family like atmosphere in the offices. Still great friends, even though I have a problem with the company.
Cons
Downside with Farmers is they play mental games with the employees, objectives that are almost impossible to meet. Employees are always working under the threat of losing their job. In the office where I worked, all employees including supervisors were under an action plan because of not meeting objectives. Upper management does not care about employees, middle management will do whatever it takes to get a promotion. It is a very stressful environment to work in. Those that stay, do so because they have so many years in with the company, but probably should leave for their health. The company wanted to downsize in 2010, to do this, they fired employees throughout the company to avoid unemployment and severance pay.
