Pros

Good benefits package, starting on day one of employment

Cons

They say there is unlimited potential for growth, however, this is stiffled by the unhealthy ratio of claims to adjuster.. they have a high turn over rate, and often employees will find themselves stuck in the same department for years while the company hires outsiders that have no claims experience whatsoever but will be trained to become an injury specialist instead of advancing an adjuster that's been with the company for years because they can't keep enough employees in Express / ILR etc... and once they do finally advance to Injury, there is also a freeze there as well, due to high turn over/ unmanageable amount of claims ...., and also , unfortunately, management does not care about quality of life or mental health of their team or even doing what is right for policyholders, but focuses on metrics and avoiding arbitration ( it seems involvement from a law office taints some of management's view on claim handling , often placing liability against policyholders when it should not ) ... in summary... State Farm needs to overhaul management training and needs to hire and retain more claim adjusters / specialists ( and I do not mean the third party outsiders that don't have proper training on how we handle claims .... )

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
