Georgia Farm Bureau

When I come into work each morning I take the mail out and make coffee. After that I check my emails and respond to all request. During the day I take calls, file paper work, help customers with their account, make new files and check on our change apps. Towards the end of the day we close out our shift, clean the coffee out and make sure all the lights our off before setting the alarm to leave. After I am off, I have to make one stop at the bank to make my night deposit.

I love all my agents because they all have different personalities and are fun to work with.

Management is excellent. Completely fair and always want to see you progress within the company.

Everything is pretty easy besides making sure our customers pay on time.

I enjoy everything about this place but I am still looking for another job that I could work around my current job to have an extra income.

Typical day would be to come in and take phone off forward and begin working claims. We were to set up claims, rentals, take statements iinvolving disputed claims. review bodily injury claims and settle with attorneys if possible, otherwise forward to the bodily injury unit.
I learned alot about insurance coverages and negotiating with attorneys and was able to apply that knowledge to personal life such as helping out a family member that didn't understand what coverages they had for their house or when my sister was involved an in accident and was injured. I was able to help her negotiate with at-fault insurance company without involving an attorney.
The hardest part of the job was trying to find a balance between working your claims and asnwering the phones as well as returning phone calls. It could be very overwhelming.
The enjoyable part of the job were the perks, such as holiday parties and free tickets to the national fair every year just to name a few.

GFB has it's ups and down's as most job more downs than ups. Work day 8-4:30 and the supervisor expect you to start right at 8, they don't give you time to catch a breath before they start giving out orders. Always picking , standing watching you like you are little children, don't want you to talk not even to your coworkers in your area but they can sit all day and talk with the maintenance man and other supervisors. Supervisor's are prejudice,with some people. I hated the place got a headache everyday I had to go. If you call in without having asked for it off it counts against you and is called unscheduled PTO, if you get to many unscheduled PTO's you are out the door, even if you have the time. If you clock in 1 minute after 8 you are late and they want to fuss about it.If you work in any of PHS department it's worst department to work and Mail Ops.

Lots of internal office drama between the agents and agency manager. Agents often stole clients, ignoring clients needs and calls, meaning the receptionists often took the verbal beating from angry customers. I would leave feeling defeated and often jaded for lack of ability to help further than offering the line to corporate for formal complaints. High turn over rate, and insufficient chain of command. Receptionists were run by a volunteer elected board of local farmers . We were evaluated for performance and raises by people who didn't even officially work for the company. Changes to management have occurred and so has the way the receptionists are managed, overall this company will be lucky to restore itself before it is shut down.

Loved working with Georgia Farm Bureau. My hard work and dedication to doing a awesome job for the company was recongnized and rewarded with promtions every 6 months. A typical day and work required me entering all typed of data into our application systems.Keep detailed records and documenting them to management. Management was excellent but unfair on somethings; one department was forced to abide by strick rules while other departments were able to get away with alot more. My overall experience at GFB was amazing i would go back to work for this company if offered a position to go back.

The only good thing I have to say about this company is that I have met some amazing people here and made lifelong friends. Aside from that everything else is horrible. Management is incompetent, the pay is garbage, and the entire company is 20 years behind every other competitor. This place is like a highschool when it comes to drama, cliques, and politics. Every department is clueless and the managers stop trying to develop when they get promoted. This company exists for the sole purpose of supporting farmers, if you are a sales agent that wants a sales oriented career with upward mobility and good training DO NOT come here. 

Greeted numerous customers , visitors, VIP's, vendors took customer payments in person and via telephone. Answered and managed incoming and outgoing calls while recording accurate messages. Enter all Data and customer payments File, fax, email any documents to home office. How to manage office in fast pace environment. My co workers were very helpful and professional. The Hardest part of the job was talking with those with insurance claims. The most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with friendly customers and co workers.

I love my job and I've only been here a month. They really gave me the best job in my field and I'm already being set up for retirement. My boss is the shizznit and my coworkers are down to earth. Everyone else is pretty awesome and helpful also. My favorite job, next to GameStop. Only downside: my training period has me stuck in the earliest shift possible. 8:00-4:30, aka no taking my baby to school, no picking him up, and no business getting done cause I work during business hours of everything lol

This company will always hold a special place in my heart. If my end goal was a career in insurance, I would have worked my entire life here and retired from GFB. My co-workers, managers, department, and everyone in the building all made it a positive work environment and a nice place to be everyday. Training never stops, as the insurance works is changing and GFB keeps their employees up-to-date. We celebrate holidays and rally as a whole when needed. GFB Home Office was such an amazing place to work. I love my GFB family. 

My position in Mail Operations was rewarding. I enjoyed delivering the mail through out the building and being able to move around. The training was adequate for the job.
My position as CRC Rep was also rewarding and I learned a great deal about insurance. The training was excellent and prepared me to be successful in the posistion.
My position as Policy Analyst was stressful and the training was not adequate for the expectations.
