      I worked at Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Pretty good training at home office, the rest depends on your manager. They invest in you, you will not be disappointed in your office, business cards, office supplies or even the lump of money they give you towards advertising.

      Cons

      Health insurance coverage is impeccable but you pay the cost of it. They only seem to care about Life Insurance sales and not home, auto, farm or commercial. Depending on your manager and how you fit in with certain cliques throughout the company will determine whether you want to stay and if you'll be able to drive continuous sales and income. You run out of people you know within your first year so unless you are given a decent size book, its all a matter of luck.

      Advice to Management

      Actually train your new agents. Don't let a bad quarter represent everything they've accomplished so far.

      I worked at Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance full-time (More than 8 years)

      Pros

      Pretty good work-life balance. Updated corporate office space. Benefits are good, fitness center provides good opportunity, and is staffed. Great location, close to downtown without downtown parking challenges. Pay can be both a pro or a con, depends on the position and the individual.

      Cons

      I saw several long term (10 year or more) employees and management leave for better opportunities due to the limited growth opportunities. Management showed favoritism for some with little oversight and ever changing objectives for those not in favor.

      Advice to Management

      Look into the dysfunctional managers who are driving employees away. There is a trend and there is a story behind it.

      I worked at Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Lots of investment into growth of the employees. I learned a lot while i was there from the provided resources. The company bonus is insane (20%!!) and they actually get that bonus! I have been to other companies where they promise a bonus but at the year end they always say there is no budget. This place really pays out their bonus.

      Cons

      Pay was well below average, when my annual review came due the raise offered was a standard 4% however my market value was 150% of what I was earning. I took the job with no experience but after a year I cannot be expected to continue to work for such low wages.

      Advice to Management

      IT salaries move more than the "industry standard" that HR tries to dole out. If you don't pay competitive wages then you will continue to see attrition for in demand jobs.

      Flexible time, quality education, co workers are great and most support staff willl go above and beyond to help

      Poor leadership on the local level, sometimes cumbersome red tape to get answers or business issued.

      Advice to Management

      Be more concerned with your clients and employees rather than double digit growth and profits
