      Pros

      State Farm has an excellent company culture. If you are bright, articulate and mobile you can go far with this company.

      Cons

      Mobility is a must for upward advancement and development is generally left for those few folks that happen to be mobile. That results in leaders who are the "best of the mobile" instead of the best of the best.

      Financially strong company, poor hiring practices

      Pros

      Financially strong company. Industry leader. Agency opportunity is good in high premium states, very difficult to make a living in low premium states. Promote from within to a fault. Opportunities everywhere in the country. They still have a good old fashioned pension for employees.

      Cons

      Only those that are financial service producers get promoted. Very few opportunities to get hired by the company above entry level. Seems quasi-government at times. Illustrations provided by leadership to recruit agents are overstated by about 70%+ in some cases. Slow to change.

      Pros

      Great company culture. Good people who actually help one another and look out for our client's best interests.

      Cons

      Beware of becoming an agent. Due a LOT of research first and understand that you are not being judged solely on measurable performance, but also "Core Competencies" which give leadership the ability to refuse you a permanent contract without concrete explanations even if production goals are achieved. Also, beware of the financial projections they provide you with. They tend to show much more positive financial results than actually occur.
