Pros

Very flexible employer. I work for an agent who is always willing to work around my schedule. State Farm has strong values and ethics along with quality service.

Cons

It seems hard to get promoted. Your are limited to only selling State Farm. The premiums/price is sometimes hard to work with when you have 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
