Pros

Very Strong Job Security, especially in this economy. Good Benefits and Employee Wellness Programs.

Cons

State Farm is very Bureaucratic. It seems like someone is always telling us "The Titanic took over a half-mile berth to turn around. It will take a long time for this company to change as well". If you are a perfectionist motivated to effect change in the status quo, look elsewhere.

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
