Pros

Co-workers are fun to work with Nice 401K Get free gifts sometimes

Cons

Pay and Bonus amount is a disgrace really low compared to other Insurance companies. Statefarm changes to much (not for the better) and expect you to be okay with it. Growth/Promotion is nonexsistent. Management is horrible and only focus on numbers You will get voluntold for anything, they don't give you choices. I think the biggest con is it is all who you know not what you know at Statefarm. I have seen the smartest most qualified individuals get passed up on promotions, but most of the time it's given to the person who is cool with the manager.

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
