Pros

Instead of blanket layoffs when times are difficult, there is some effort to place employees elsewhere within the Company. Decent employer for those with only a high-school education. Nice launching pad, but move on once you have a good deal of experience.

Cons

A social atmosphere that reminds this reviewer of grade school instead of a company of adults. Zero-tolerance on illness if that illness interferes with what Management wants. A tendency to demonize, ostracize, and isolate (if not terminate) anyone who doesn't live and breathe State Farm. The ability to think for yourself is not considered a plus here. The "compensation"; paying just enough to be competitive, but not more than that. Vacation, Sick Leave, Personal Time could be increased.

Pros

Good experience builder to move on to better sales opportunities. Use it as a springboard if you have to but walk away if you can as well.

Cons

Poor advancement opportunities unless you want to become an agent aka State Farm robot. Pathetic vacation allowance. Pay is not great either.

Pros

If you live in Bloomington, IL, then you probably know that you have no choice but to work for State Farm since they practically own the town, so getting a job there is great!

Cons

Bad management in Accounting dept. Old fashioned and have no creativity. Please move to a bigger city if you have a degree and want growth in your career. Just my two cents!
