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

Working in an agents office prepares you well to become an agent if that's your goal, I can't imagine becoming an agent without having spent some time as a staff member and in my situation worked my way up to the office manager, there is alot to learn and took me a year before I felt comfortable with the products. You definitely stay busy and there are always opportunities to advance your education, Life and Health License, Property and Casualty License, Finra Securities license, if you want to sell mutual funds. If your goal is to be an agent you will have to pass many tests but its worth it . I have a Masters degree in Business so I'm hoping that will also help when I go in front of the board to become an agent. You have to be able to multi task and have the ability to put people at ease when they are upset, Good customer service is everything in this line of business

Cons

Can be stressful from the sales end meeting expectations
