Farmers Insurance Group Employer Reviews

Resigned due to family reasons, nothing negative about Farmers Insurance

Typical day at work included deposits, withdrawals, cross-selling, opening new accounts and field marketing.

I worked there for a few months and I loved my boss and his wife! It was a small business but i learned so much and I was grateful to know my boss and his wife! They are such good people! I had to move and I was sad to leave!

Excellent training, leadership, and workplace. Leaders will surround you in a wholesome environment.

The management of this company really doesn't know what it is doing. It wants to run every state the same but this really isn't practical. What works in California where they are #1 doesn't always work here in the midwest. The managers are typical for this type of business. They are only out for themselves. If you don't kiss up to them and do things – more...  their way then they make your life terible. They tell you that you are running your own business but in reality they control you. – less

Inconsistant, lack of training, poor training program. It is a good opportunity for someone who is leaving another company. Management is poor.

I worked for Farmers Insurance for 40 years and found the company to be a consistent company to work for. I received my pay on time, yearly bonus on time. All benefits were great with exception that the medical coverage was lacking. The company was concerned about their employees and still needed to maintain the production and quality our customers – more...  expected. Co-workers were good and our team was a mixture tenure of experience giving me a great team because we all had a point of view with blended together worked GREAT! My supervisors were good to work for and respected me for the job I did and I them for their performance and communication skills. Hardest part of the job was ramp up of the dept in 2000 and the virgin programs and equipment we had that were meeting bare necessity and the struggle daily to see that my team got the enhancements needed to perform their duties in a timely and accurate manner. We had a production environment and I tried to do whatever necessary to see that I was not expecting things from my team they could not possible give me without the enhancements. Enjoyable part of job was the people and the challenge daily. It was not boring or dreaded. I got up every morning ready to go to work and was never late or tardy and the day flew by. – less

Started each day with a positive attitude. Focused on what I could get accomplished each day, not what I could not complete which allowed for prioritizing and staying organized on a daily basis. Myself and my co-workers displayed a professional image each day which allowed the respect of one another's job responsibilities. The hardest part of the job – more...  was completing all required duties within an 8 hour day which consisted of timely benefit payments and notices thereby following all rules and regulations mandated by the State of Califonia for Worker's Compensation Claims Administration. The best part of the job were the people I worked for and the people I worked with who became like a second family to me as we all worked closely together as team. – less

Farmers Insurance is a good place to work and being an insurance adjuster is a unique job. The position requires you to be a creative problem solver that can multi task constantly. You must also have excellent communication skills because you have to work with customers, body shops, attornys, and management.

Farmers is a company that has high expectations – more...  for their employees with minimal on the job training. – less

I began my work for this company as a Claims Service Associate and went on to obtain my personal lines claims adjusters license in many states. Having this type of licensure often allowed me to handle new and exisiting claims for auto or property losses and offer services to customers based on liability.

Over all work experience was good. My job was collections and i enjoyed it. I had good relationships with the employees and boss. Good work environment

This is a great job if you have a solid DM and a good list of contacts. If you lack those two things you will hate it.

Dedicated and hard working people don't matter anymore to Farmers like it did several years ago.
However, during the 10 years that I have been with Farmers, I have learned a lot and am thankful for that.

THIS WAS BY FAR MY FAVORITE JOB. THE OWNER IS GREAT AND THE JOB WAS FUN. I LEARNED HOW TO WRITE INSURANCE POLICIES AND ENTER PAYMENTS IN THE COMPUTER. ALSO I ENJOYED THAT MY CO WORKER WAS AN AWESOME PERSON. SHE TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING I LEARNED WHILE I WAS THERE.

I was an office manager and I handled all the client accounts and changes that needed to be made in the office.

I worked in agent support and it was awful we would have agents call and curse at us and yell at us for mistakes made on there end by there staff.

I enjoyed my time spent at Farmers Insurance. The position that I held did not have enough room for advancement or job security. Majority of my time was spent cold calling, although a great learning experience I much rather interact with people in person.

I like the job it is challenging but not very secure. I make lots of phone calls. I have learned that people don't really like to switch insurance companies even if you are saving them money. Not too many co-workers. The hardest part of the job is calling people. I enjopy it when I do sell a policy.

A typical day included cold calling, cultivating contacts and selling.

I learned how to sell financial products.

Management was very engaged, but the product did not sell itself.

There was a very high turnover rate at Farmers. I was the only one left in my class of 4 after 6 months. None of the members of the previous class made it past 6 months – more...  either.

The hardest part of the job was selling an expensive product. The most enjoyable part of the job, however, was knowing that the customer purchased from you because they valued the agent. – less

Fast pace, you can always do more than you set out to do. Managements theme was not who or what went wrong, focus on how WE can make it right. All hand on deck, powerful minds make the right things happen. The hardest part of the job is experiencing the fires, auto accidents, tornados and death with your clients. The most enjoyable part is giving back, – more...  going to the homes after a tornado and being there first had. – less
