Pros
I've been at Farmers for more than a decade. The changes inside the company during that time have been astounding . I really feel our leadership understands what they need to do to attract and keep talent in this rapidly changing marketplace. They've relaxed the dress code, improved technology, reworked benefits and really focused on diversity and inclusion efforts at all levels of the company. I've never really felt the desire to leave (which I had at both previous employers). Things I like: - I'm extremely challenged in my role. - I feel my talents are being used to the fullest extent. - I feel valued. - I got a lot of time off (I actually struggle to use the 30 days I receive each year). - I get to work at home a lot. - I'm given a lot of autonomy in my role. - I'm given opportunity. - I get to support my community and my favorite charities on behalf of Farmers. - I feel fairly compensated.
Cons
- Work/life balance can be a little off. Sometimes I ask, "what balance?" - Benefits are decent. Probably could be better. My litmus test is that I perceive my husband's employer-provided benefits better than what I receive. - Offices outside of Home Office (Los Angeles) have less opportunity than Home Office, especially in my business unit.
