Pros

Work/life balance- when you leave, you leave PTO- even with recent change there is is plenty of time Benefits- good heath plan Pay for designations, and yearly bonus.

Cons

Micromanaged, favoritism, and unorganized. Low performers get ahead quicker than high performers. A lot of dead weight still employed messing up people's policies. Low pay, very low compared to competition. Even though change has to happen in insurance, the change at State Farm is messy as if a 5th grader is designing change strategy. Training sucks!!! (there are 100 different ways, resources, and updates to 1 process which should be simple..smh). Production over quality, bad door to open.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
