Pros

Largest auto and home insurer in the United States and Canada. Everyone has heard of State Farm. Easy to communicate with other employees through email and IM systems.

Cons

Can be way too expensive, which makes it hard to sell. Have to pay for your own licenses and classes. Hard to afford the insurance that you are selling. Not enough support to show you how to sell.

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
