Pros

State Farm is still in business and will probably be around for a while. I have vacation, 401K, sick leave, benefts whih I can't take for granted.

Cons

I feel like a drone doing the same thing day in and day out. No one really knows you exist until there is a crisis. You take care of it and then others feel a sense of relief. Only you and others who work are not appreciated. People who fawn over their manager are appreciated as is the slackass who spends half her day on the cell phone making personal calls. Then there's the guy who spends a great deal of time on facebook during working hours promoting his band.

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
