Pros

Great benefits and pay is descent. I build great relationships with people that I will always cherish. Helped me understand claims and policies over the years but you definitely learn as you go.

Cons

Management is horrible. All they care about are the numbers. No quality handling. Non optional overtime. No time with your family and the schedules mostly are not all that good either. The VP is cold as ice. A closed claim is the best claim but yet tons are still open which means more work for you.

Pros

I am grateful for the opportunity and experience, and the amazing co workers and managers I met along the way

Cons

- Once the CFO Michael Tipsord took over Ed Rust's CEO Position, the company started going downhill - The CEO stopped caring about quality and started focusing on call times and quantity - The company is valued at over $80billion dollars but they decided to be penny pinchers and decided to close all the Operation Centers around the US, and relocate all the employees to either Dallas, Phoenix, and Atlanta - State Farm's highest senior executives constantly lied about Safe and Long Term Locations (such as Irvine) - A lot of current employees are demoralized and un motivated due to the drastic changes - Other Rival and Competing Insurance Companies such as Farmers, Progressive, and Allstate pay higher salaries than State Farm - The new PTO system makes it difficult to get days off / vacation days

Pros

Decent pay and team members are great for the most part.

Cons

No work life balance. Benefits have been reduced, but they try to sell it as a good thing. Mid level management has no power to manage - they are only the messengers of bad news and are made to focus on metrics only. Staff is reduced but workload increases.
