Pros

State Farm is an employee centric organization with reasonable compensation and benefits and a high degree of job security. They rarely if ever lay people off. High performers are rewarded well.

Cons

State Farm operates in a very competive industry and struggles to maintain market share. Mobility is highly valued, especially if you are not located at the corporate headquarters. Greater emphasis is being placed on reducing expenses and, as such, the culture is slowly becoming less employee centric.

Pros

I work in an agent's office and it really varies from agency to agency...I've heard some nightmare stories from other employees but my eperience has been overall a positive one. The rates are relatively competitive so generally morale is pretty good, and we offer a ton of products (almost 160 at last count?) so every agency should be able to find a niche.

Cons

The company is going through a lot of changes right now and I'm not sure if they're for the good. In order to cut operating costs the regional office performance has TANKED compared to two years ago. Also if you're working for an agent that has been around awhile expect zero help from state farm corporate because they get paid a higher commission than the new guys.
