Farmers Insurance Group

Is this your company?

Don't make the same mistake I did when it comes to Farmers Insurance Group's agency program - Insurance Agent Farmers Insurance Group Employee Review

Pros

Can't think of any other than you're getting paid some monetary value. May not be what you think you're worth, but you're getting something.

Cons

The agency program is so disappointing that I have to joke about it to keep from crying. I came into the Reserve agent program with 8 other potential agents and I was the last one to leave the company because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to have that same freedom to take my daughter to the doctor or take her to get ice cream on Friday afternoons. Boy oh boy was the kid wrong.....I'm making more money selling insurance independently and I have more reasons to take my daughter out for ice cream and not worry about missing a call.

Pros

Work from home, make your own hours, fun claim types, starts off with great PTO allotment and you have access to all your hours from the moment you start with an extra week after five years

Cons

Good luck with your diaries if you use the PTO. You will come back with overdue items. The way they have their PTO backup system setup is two backup people for the whole department. There is too much work for them so they don't get to much while you are out. Usually voicemails. You can' schedule anything for while you are gone, all your claims have to wait for you to return. The amount of new claims a week has drastically increased and it isn't sustainable. They do expect you to work more than your 40 hours or recommend that you find a different job that isn't a salary position, PTO calendars are always red with blackout dates. Supervisors and the manager don't listen to actionable items presented to make the department better. The attrition is bad, but they continue to tell us we are fully staffed because our diaries aren't that bad yet. Adjusters are dropping like flies but won't hire anymore. Not sure if that comes from senior leadership or direct leadership. Ever since Jeff Dailey left, we are just numbers. No one cares about us anymore and it is evident.
