Pros

State Farm has a top-notch intern program. They are dedicated to making sure that their college interns get real world work and skills. There is also a mandatory speech program and other intern activities that serve to form an attachment to the company and provide an opportunity for skill sharpening. I would highly recommend this.

Cons

There are no significant downsides to State Farm. The biggest issue I came across is location but now the hubs are available and there is a major hiring upswing in those.

Pros

The insurance industry is hard to break into. They are willing to train you from the ground up. The mission statement takes pride in your development. Movement if you want to relocate

Cons

Multiple actions in the last few years to move to KPI driven, call center. Toxic culture. Constant micromanagement. No work life balance. Removal of pivotal benefits.

Pros

Co-workers are nice (well 75%; there's about 25% that are rude and don't speak) Stable company Benefits are descent (overtime pay, healthcare, bonuses, dental, 401k, pension, etc.) Growing HUB locations offer more opportunity in the Atlanta area, but very competitive

Cons

Location is too congested (Dunwoody) State Farm Recruiters used "Bait and Switch" for hiring Extremely low salary compared to other underwriting jobs in the insurance industry Not enough Paid Vacation (a lot less than my previous employer offered to new hires) Very Competitive based on the mass hiring involving college students, etc. so may be extremely difficult to advance in company Must be in position that you were hired for, for 24 months before you can apply to a different position (incumbency period) non-negotiable pay Old fashioned building with horrible plumbing (however state farm did make the offices "look" nice, but looks can be deceiving Extremely slow elevators causing it to take you at least 7 whole minutes to just get out of the building at the end of the day Only 45 minute lunches (My last job gave us 1 hour lunches) 1 year + long training before starting actual position From what I have heard from co-workers that have been with the company 5+ years, the company's culture is changing for the worse. This is causing unhappy employees and very high turnover
