      Pros

      The people. Every employee is so nice and welcoming. They're willing to take time out of their busy work day to answer any questions you have or help you with something to the best of their ability. There are so many job opportunities available within State Farm for any employee who wants to further develop their skills or take on a new position and new challenge in their career.

      Cons

      Communication between all levels needs some improvement.

      Don't work here unless you have no motivation and want to be stuck in a rut for years.

      Pros

      Tuition reimbursement program is excellent, only a few prerequisites. State Farm reimburses all costs for tuition, fees, and books. Short workweek (38.75 hours) is also a plus, but that can be offset by on-call times or late meetings that extend workdays.

      Cons

      Promotions are by who you know instead of by abilities or accomplishments. One mistake or poor choice of words can cost you for many, many years. Pay scales are lower than competition's pay scales. Management tends to abuse on-call time and will not go after people that are not as available as they should be. The people that actually answer the phone/pager/cell phone tend to get called more often, leading to burnout. Executives and management also tend to think that externals/contractors are the answer to every question. Staffing is also an issue, lately people that leave (which are usually the best and brightest the company has) are not replaced. Brain drain is a major issue at State Farm.
