Pros

Good Pay, Casual Atmosphere, No micromanaging

Cons

-Lack of direction -Mixed messages, Districty manager I worked with received top accualtes, yet was still downgraded comereview time. -Non competitive rates -99.9% recruiting based-Although you are told, (and the District managers are instructed) that an even focus should be placed on everything needed to beome a district manager, 99.9% of your timewill be spent recruiting possible farmers agent. Although management stresses recruiting wuality candidates that will last, DM's are more focused on trying to get as many people possible and hoping one sticks. As such agent turnover is very high.

Pros

Independent work atmosphere. Make your own schedule, do your own thing. Opportunity for unlimited income. Quality products.

Cons

The contract is becoming less and less independent yet there are still no benefits. I believe there should be more equal trade off. No marketing assistance; in fact they are slowly forcing agents to subscribe to Farmers marketing products and deducting it from wages. Some state management is cut throat, not the way it used to be.

Pros

Company strategically well positioned. Large enough co. that there is potential to get exposure to many different aspects of the insurance business.

Cons

Inadequate communication b/w leadership & employees and b/w silos. Mgt. is condescending and self-righteous. Lack of clarity and leadership. Low morale--employee dissatisfaction not viewed as a commentary on the state of the company, but rather, a sign that employees should move on. Performance reviews use objectives largely unrelated to job duties, resulting in arbitrary evaluations. Recognition can be arbitrary at times. Training is very limited. HR exists to serve management, not employees.
