Pros

Working for State Farm is nice inasmuch it's a Fortune 50 company that has all the benefits and career nurturing helps with adequate pay (including bonuses, yearly local COLAs, etc.).

Cons

Job security is not as assured as one might think with such a big company, so compliance to call center metrics will be more rigorously enforced after about 9 months since the corporate go-to of workforce reduction to make a quarter look better will be applied (especially in Texas) --and they're not above changing the goal posts on talk-time to eliminate otherwise perfect seasoned customer service professionals.

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
