Pros

Working in an agent's office as a staff member can be a very rewarding experience. You will learn a tremendous amount of knowledge regarding many different aspects of business. State Farm has a wide array of insurance and financial products so you will always continue learning and being challenged. Much of the experience (especially compensation) depends on the specific agent and how they compensate their employees for their sales & hard work.

Cons

It can be extremely stressful, tough work. Must be able to multi-task or you will not be successful. Must be very proficient in customer service and have patience.

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
