Pros
Relatively stable place to work, however it seems sometimes to promote work avoiders into management while keeping hard workers stuck in their roles. State Farm puts a huge emphasis on perception--even if that perception is deception. Hard, reliable workers should be rewarded with promotion while those who play golf with management and somehow get promoted should not be. That's why I feel State Farm has had trouble growing and maintaining its market share--because it has been managing my perception and not reality.
Cons
The number of employees has decreased over the past ten years, so there is less opportunity for advancement.
