Pros

State Farm pays pretty well and they usually give you some commission. It also puts you in the insurance industry if you're interested in it.

Cons

MAKE SURE YOUR AGENT IS SOMEONE WHO WOULD MAKE A GOOD BOSS. I got a greedy agent, and he would hold back most of our commission. He keeps on firing/hiring people until he finds people who will kiss his ass enough to keep their jobs.

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
