Pros

I genuinely enjoy working at Federated Insurance. The culture is welcoming, respectful, and truly centered around teamwork and employee success. From leadership to coworkers, there is a strong sense of support and collaboration throughout the organization. Federated’s commitment to diversity, inclusion, and professional growth is not just something they talk about—it is clearly demonstrated through everyday interactions and real opportunities for advancement. I feel comfortable being myself at work and truly believe my contributions are valued and recognized. Management is approachable, communicates expectations clearly, and actively encourages development and continuous learning. Work-life balance is respected, and the overall environment is positive, motivating, and uplifting. I’m proud to be part of a company that genuinely prioritizes both its people and its value

Cons

Honestly, I have not experienced any significant negatives at this time. My experience has been overwhelmingly positive.

Pros

Excellent benefits Caring, inclusive culture Opportunities to develop and succeed professionally if you own your career growth Can build a longstanding career here Diversity among employees has increased Company lives out its values and consistently gives back to the community Work-life balance is excellent Leadership is genuine and cares about every employee

Cons

Some people want a remote position and Federated believes that face-to-face teams deliver better service, so remote positions are not available. They do offer various flex schedules, though. Main headquarters are located outside a metro area, but Owatonna is growing and amenities continue to increase.

Strong Culture and core Values, Not for everybody.

Pros

As a 15+ year "Home Office" employee I have greatly appreciated the strong family like culture the company maintains and the incredible growth and improvement during those 15 years. One of the reasons for a strong culture is that the company is a "work from work" company. That is not for everyone. However, for the most part, all employees have a genuine sense of trying to help each other out as best they can to solve the problem. The company does have high expectations for employees. 5 stars does not mean perfect, but the company and its leadership certainly strives to be. Benefits are world-class for a private employer (the pension is real, "open" and overfunded, and I get paid to carry health insurance when factoring in the HSA deposits they make to my account). Great improvements regarding Diversity and Inclusion over the past half decade.

Cons

Because of its size and the industry (insurance companies are by nature cautious) change can be slow. It is also a "work from work" company which will turn off some qualified candidates.
