Pros

Recognize that there is life outside of State Farm; good recognition of work/life balance; time off policies reflect very family friendly atmosphere; State Farm "nice" meant most everyone was very friendly; as a private company they are not as prone to the market ups and downs and can think more strategically when it comes to finding the right balance between profit and cost cutting. Great pension package!

Cons

Hard to get the foot in the door at the appropriate level. Those who start off their careers or are very early in their career can move up. Those who want to enter in at a mid career level have a difficult time getting into the company.

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
