Michigan Farm Bureau

Ability to make a difference in the lives of farmers and ranchers on a legislative level. Membership benefits gave the opportunity to provide resources to our members that improved their lives. Loved working with the Board of Directors and appreciated the trust they had in placing the daily functioning of the non-profit in my hands.

Thoroughly enjoyed clientele and community involvement of the company.

Enjoyed writing policy resolutions on Farming and Rancing that sometimes had parts that were written into House Bills and law.

I had the misfortune of working for Farm Bureau of Michigan/Michigan Farm Bureau for just over a year. The constant harassment I got for being trans, including over my bathroom use, forcing me to use my dead name on emails and other correspondence, eventually led to me leaving. Any time I asked for these changes to be made, I was told it was impossible. A company that finds it impossible to respect someone enough to use their name and pronouns is a company with a terrible culture. The funniest thing is, they keep sending me emails trying to recruit me to come back to the company this year. Despite the mistreatment, I clearly am a fantastic worker if they want me to come back.

They continue to overload the adjusters. Taking vacation will put you behind. They do not care about the employee. This is a good ole boys place for advancement, more of who you know is how you get promoted. Training is an absolute joke, they just throw you to the wolves then berate you when you make a mistake. Managers are incompetent and cannot give a decision without prior approval. There is no standard for claims handling, everyone has a different way of doing things depending on the supervisor. Total confusion! There is always someone being "groomed" for the next promotion.  

Good co-workers and good managers, the company overall is extremely ethical. My biggest criticism of the company is the temporary pool that roughly 20% of home office belongs to. These temporary workers are given little to no opportunity to be established in the company. If accepting a position with FB insurance of MI in the home office make sure the position is full time and permanent.

As a County Administrative Manager, I learned a great deal about this grassroots member only based organization that lobbies for farmers and agriculture as well as educates consumers where their food comes from.  A great group of people to work for and I encourage members to get involved in the programs provided by NW Michigan Farm Bureau.

Farm Bureau is not diverse and does not value the development of it's employees.The organization has zero minority presentation in its executive level positions and never has had senior minority leadership. The organization has a culture of harassment, nepotism, and white privilege. There is no incentive to change as that is how it has operated for at least 20 years.

Farm Bureau is an excellent place to start a career in the insurance industry, if you have little to no knowledge on insurance. Training is excellent and they offer continuous learning opportunities. The hard part as an agent is competing against an independent broker who represents multiple carriers rather than just one.

This was a great place to be employed and I enjoyed the work-life balance that it provided. The only reason I left was the lack of consistent income. This career path unfortunately would take too long to become financially stable. My situation requires a stable monthly income.

Loved the Farmers Petroleum.

Transfered to insurance co.with a promise of taking over agency.After committed to company they cut promised income by 60 percent.

Only interested in selling the most profitable insurance products.
Life and annuity products Thats the bottom line!

in the beginning is was a fabulous company, always succeeding and fun to work with.  Since 2005 the management, never leadership team, has not grown the companies.  Lots of great people are rudderless and starving for success and direction.
