Pros

Financially sound company Cares about employees Traditional (pro & con) - Excels at customer service

Cons

Traditional (old fashioned)-slow to update technology and, in general, keep up with the times and remain fresh in the marketplace. Younger generation sees State Farm as a compny that "their parents" do business with and not a company for them. Many employees have been with the company over 15+ years. While this may also be a pro, it also lends to the fact that State Farm is not a very progressive company. New talent is needed to remain progressive. Employee benefits should be better for company size and revenue.

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
