Pros

It's a job. That's all. When you are hired they feed you a line of propaganda. They used to have good benefits. Decent health insurance, vacation time, sick leave and even Profit Sharing. January 1, 2009 all of this will change. If you have many years invested in the company you have to stay.

Cons

Many of the employees have never worked anwhere else, so they don't realize how bad FNWL has become. The "open door policy" is nonexsistant. If anything it is used against you. The job advancement is done on a matrix system. If the person (the favored one) doesn't meet the requirements of the original matrix they just rewrite it and make the matrix fit the favored person.

Pros

Farmers once had a solid reputation, but that has declined since Zurich became involved.

Cons

The company is effectively taking the benefit of years of hard work that prior agents invested to grow their businesses and increase Farmers’ policy count. When I started as an agency owner, I invested my own time and money into advertising and building a book of business with the understanding that the sacrifices would pay off over time through renewal commissions. I believed this would create long-term value—something I could eventually rely on to support my retirement. Instead, the constant changes to commission structures and ongoing requirements to continue receiving compensation on business I personally produced—without support—have been incredibly discouraging. It feels like a moving target, and one that diminishes the value of what agents have built. I’ve never been in a position where meetings are held to explain how and why compensation will be reduced or taken away. That reality is deeply frustrating and disheartening.
