Workplace: Remote  #LI-Remote

Farmers believes in a culture of collaboration, creativity, and innovation, which thrives when we have the ability to work flexibly in a virtual setting as well as the opportunity to be together in person. If a Virtual employee moves within 50 miles of a Farmers office, or a new office opens within 50 miles of a Virtual employee's residence, the employee who is not otherwise excluded due to the nature of their role may be reclassified as a Hybrid employee.
