Pros

Get to build a business in which you are personally responsible for the execution and growth of your business. Income is up to you to be able to sell the products and services that generate your income. The claims department was very effective in the claims that I had and left a very positive taste in my mouth.

Cons

Although you can work when you want, you are still held captive to only sell products and services that Farmers provides. When the pricing of the insurance products are not competitive in the marketplace, you ability to build business is hindered severely due to lack of options to provide your clients and inability to negotiate rates with the company. Although you cannot control the price of the product, you still must perform business growth objectives in order to keep you contract with Farmers. Basically and agent at Farmers is a glorified employee that can work when they want.

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.
