Farmers Insurance is seeking motivated, entrepreneurial professionals to join our Associate Agent Development Program — a structured career path designed to prepare high-performing individuals for future agency ownership.
This is not just another sales role. The Associate Agent Program is a hands-on development opportunity that allows candidates to begin building their own book of business from day one while receiving the training, mentorship, and operational support necessary to become a successful Farmers Agency Owner.
Through the support of the Farmers Insurance San Francisco District Office, Associate Agents receive access to industry-leading training, marketing resources, business development coaching, and ongoing mentorship designed to help them grow into full-time Retail Agency Owners.
The program is structured to provide up to 12 months for qualified candidates to achieve production milestones that may allow Farmers Insurance to waive the traditional capital requirements associated with opening a retail agency.
This is an ideal opportunity for sales professionals, business-minded individuals, customer relationship experts, and aspiring entrepreneurs looking to build a long-term career with one of the most recognized brands in the insurance industry.

Our story began in 1928 with the simple goal of insuring the vehicles of rural farmers but as the world changed, so did we. Farmers now provides insurance for home, auto, business, recreational, life and financial services to more than 5 million households, generating approximately $19 billion in annual premium.
