Pros

The pay, education, provide good resources so you can intelligently speak with customers even if you don't have complete knowledge of insurance. Management communicates thoroughly even on things that do not pertain to the job. Customers are generally pleasant due to the excellent customer service they recieve. Compensation is given for each new customer and referral. There is atleast one person in the office who can perform all areas of insurance and banking. Lunch and breaks are given and time off for doctor appointments are taken into consideration. They provide flexability for personal calls within reason. Nice people, pleasant to work with.

Cons

WORKING OFF THE CLOCK. state farm training (not state license) are done on your own time and they send state farm homework (with pop quiz the following day) with you when the work day is through. Home fairs where state farm is present and advertising are also unpaid but mandatory. Management has many opinions and comments relating to how you dress, personal life, and your work performance. Constantly looking over your shoulder. Favortism is a good word to use when describing how some employees schedules are determined. They give unrealistic goals to new hires and say they will be fired if the goals are not reached.

Pros

The company not only supports your development, but they also help you to succeed in whatever role you feel most comfortable in. The company takes great lengths to provide you the ability to maximize your ability to be successful in your position. I was able to complete my masters degree through a State Farm partnership, and I have been able to double my income in less than 5 years.

Cons

If you are limited in your own ability to be geographically mobile, you are limiting yourself to the amount of growth opportunities made available to you.
