Pros

It is a growing company and is still an industry leader. From agencies to the corporate offices in Bloomington, everyone is focused on taking care of the customer. When you work for State Farm you know you are representing the best name in insurance.

Cons

The only downside is that there is a lot of friendly competition among agents. There are many agents in big cities and sometimes it feels like there are too many. However, this could be viewed as an advantage because it keeps you on your toes and pushes you to be great.

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
