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

The best thing were the hours. For me, because I was only part time, I was able to balance my work life and home life very well.

Cons

When you work for an agency at State Farm, it all depends on the specific agent and how they run things. They have certain guidelines but all in all its their decision on salary and incentives. So, if you do not click with the agent, it could be difficult to stay motivated. Advancement could be a problem unless you prove yourself and the next step after working as a licensed rep for a while would be to open your own agency. Being a customer service rep. for an agent you are not going anywhere.
