Pros

You knew what hours you would be working, coffee was always hot, most of the time you could find supplies. The only positive thing going for this place is that the customers were always upbeat and a joy to work with on their policies.

Cons

If you didn't produce sales, even in a down turned ecomony, you might want to start looking for work with another company or in another industry. Don't share ANYTHING you want to keep private, even when you think you know the person you are sharing it with "says" that it won't go any further. No place to advance if you are not kissing up to the boss.

Pros

They are starting to become extremely forward thinking despite their typically risk averse nature. They also provide some decent benefits, like a pension plan and a employee park with free putt putt, water park, and a bunch more.

Cons

Lower end of the pay scale comparatively; as a working professional I make 1/2 what an intern does at Google or Microsoft. Too much politics involved in hiring, not enough skill review, and lots of "pass the trash". The managers who are innovative and don't seem to get a fare shake and are treated as if they don't understand or have their heads in the cloud.

Pros

Great company!! They cherish their employees. there is no one breathing down your neck, they give you your tasks for the day and that's it do your job. Everyone respects rather and there is no competing and back stabbing. Great job.

Cons

I personally haven't had any downsides working at state farm. If there was a downside it would be I'm working part time and not full time.
