* Can't write fire through State Farm Florida, they tick off current customers by raising their rates through the roof
* Binding autos in Standard business or binding in Miami Dade is harder than pulling teeth
* Agents are disconnected with their agency/team and show up whenever they feel like it
* State Farm Auto keeps raising their rates - irritating customers
* >60% of time spent pacifying customers that have been loyal for 30 years
* Too many underwriting cancellations on business that should be kept by company
* Agent-field idea box removed from ABS (Corporate got tired of us telling them what they should do)
* Nepotism in agency environment
* AFO meetings waste people's time
* Unrealistic expectations of agent goals based on all of the above
* Constant pressure to sell life and bank (Nobody cares about your Bank, State Farm - Get over it and get rid of it!)
* No open door policy about team member abuse - Don't like it: Just leave!
* Systems are outdated (3 different programs to quote auto insurance)
* The pay is a joke (sub $13.00/hr)
* Even though we sell life and health, we have to pay a portion of our health and agent wont give us life insurance.
* Even though we sell 401Ks, team members can't afford them
* No opportunity to move from agency into corporate (unless you know somebody)
* Cold calling customers that don't want our products to the point where they cancel their policies so we leave them alone.
* Commercial business is non-existant
* No recognition from agent when a job is well done
* Overworked with followups, quotes, service, and mistakes made by afterhours service
