Business Outlook
Pros
State Farm is full of good people who care about the company. It is also very good about focusing on a work / life balance, even to the detriment of the business as a whole. Politics don't seem as bad as other reviews have indicated. It's easy to stand out.
Cons
Senior management doesn't seem to understand the basics of business and there is more focus on designations than on knowing standard business methods and management techniques. I'm concerned that the company will not be able to respond to more nimble competitors. The large agent pool is a legacy cost that makes it hard to enter new markets or innovate.
