      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.

      Pros

      In an agent role at IFB you get the best hands-on training and support. It is not a place where you get licensed, start the job, they say "good luck", and let you loose. You learn A LOT! With that said, they are really focused on bringing in people who would contribute to the success of the company for many years. Because of that, there is a great family-like, company culture. Where other insurance companies are rather cut-throat, everyone here wants to see you succeed. Another perk- specifically to the agent role- is that the pay is not all commission based. That was a huge benefit because often times sales positions don't offer that stability. This is my first job out of college and I already know I'll be here for a long time.

      Cons

      The demographic of the agents here tends to be older men. I know management is in the process of bringing in move diverse employees... but for now, you won't find a ton of young people.
