Pros

Company is very organized and offers a lot of support to the agents and team members. Very Professional with a family feel. The benefits depend on which agency you work for. Some State Farm agents are a lot more generous than others.

Cons

A lot of stress on agents to sell sell sell (as with any company) but company is very conservative in regards to risk/underwriting. Meaning, there will be a lot of good clientele that you will have to refer elsewhere because State Farm won't write it. If you work in an agency (vs corporate), you can get stuck there as there is very little room for growth.

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
