Farm Bureau Insurance Employer Reviews

Farm Bureau is a great place to work. Your co-workers definately become like a family. Hardest part of my job, since I have on average, 5-8 agents in my office, balancing time for each individual fairly. The most enjoyable part of the job for me was seeing my agents succeed in growing their agencies.

After experiencing the marketing side of sales and working through inside sales positions, I am responsible for marketing my Master Agents and directly selling insurance policies to customers. It's nice to be back on the sales side to consult clients on property and casualty insurance. As an added bonus, I have the opportunity to sell customers on the – more... agents as well. – less

Made sales calls, converted policies, gave quotes. Customer interaction is a huge part of this job. To be successful, it is important to know your clients and for them to truth you.

A typical day would start with checking emails, making a daily to do list, then checking pending changes. After the rest of staff arrives I will take a small coffee break which really consists of work talk. I then meet with the agent go over other tasks that I may need help with.Then answering phones or making phone calls. This usually involves collecting – more... money, policy reviews, and claims.

We are a small office so we all break to have lunch together, watch tv and have some laughs.

My afternoons are filled with selling policies, taking care of regular office duties, making sure the other customer service staff have caught up to their work. – less

Answer phones, work reports, help train new employees. I learned that as long as you meet your numbers and finish your report everyday that you are meeting expecations. Not a lot of creativity in this postion. Management though appears caring is not available when needed. Love my co-workers and they are a joy to work with. Hardest part of the job is – more... telling customers no when it it necessary. The most enjoyable part of the job is training. All training is done in house so you really get to build relationships with your co-workers – less

Farm Bureau is a small company. The agent i worked for was very nice.

Many employees have been there awhile. Company has been less profitable in recent years.

This is a great company, but some employees are better than others. I had a wonderful experience with this company until I was given a new manager who was not qualified for the position.

Worked hours of 9:00am - 5:00pm.
Learned about Insurance and why people should carry insurance.
Was told often that my job was "on the line" which didn't help my work performance on a daily basis.
The most enjoyable part of this position was that I was able to help customers tailor their insurance needs to best suit their life.

Working at Farm Bureau provides for a great work environment. Management is very good and understanding of your work life balance.

I enjoy getting to work with people and help them handle the difficult situations they may be facing. There is always something new each day which always keeps you on your toes. Coworkers were great to work with.

lots of experience in other insurance companies at the upper management level. but immediate management is not as experienced.

I was the front desk receptionist & serviced all client accounts and handled the manual processing of all 6 agents client applications for insurance. Answered phones, made changes, processed payments, made bank runs/deposits daily. I learned how to do my job efficiently w/feedback from fellow coworkers/management. My coworkers were great, management – more... was great - esp as they all came to see me when I had an accident & broke my neck and couldn't go back to work for 3 months. They were great about giving me a chance to come back, I started back full time, but went to part time & eventually had to resign as the pain and pain meds were just too much to do my job w/a clear head. I didn't think it was fair to them. Hardest part of the job was one coworker who was high strung and would get angry over little things, but I understood as they were under a lot of pressure to meet their #'s & it happens. Most enjoyable again: coworkers...we'd go to happy hour together all the time & had a great time - even the 'difficult coworker' was fun outside the office! I even went to her house for her son's b-day party & met her husband & had a great time. So all in all the job was wonderful...and I really do miss it a lot. – less

Obtained information from potential clients and input information for insurance quotes. Wrote insurance policies from auto to home.

A great company to work with many places to advance.A place were co-workers feel more like family!

Loved working with such a great group of people! Lots of good time .

Very excellent product and company. Each Agent is independent, however the morals of the company are upheld.

A hard bunch of workers who got the job done. Too many computer systems which made the work more complex. Combining programs could have made the work easier and more efficient.

Continous learning options and advancement opportunities. Customer appreciation and relations keeps the environment a postitive enjoyable workplace. Outgoing helpful staff with any and all complications.

I liked the idea of helping people with their insurance needs. As an agent this business was very rewarding. I would work with families to insure they had proper coverages with auto, home, health and life insurance. I would take the extra steps necessary service my clients.
