State Farm - A Great Place to Work!

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

State Farm is a great place to work! The sense of community inside and outside the company is wonderful. I've never worked for a company that is so involved in giving back to the community and making it stronger or safer.

Cons

Working for a larger organization can be tough from an awareness perspective. It's a challenge to be aware of everything going on in the business. However, the leadership team within departments is great about sharing updates with the employees. You just have to pay attention to the bigger picture and how the work you do impacts the business goals.

"Like a good nieghbor State Farm IS there" not just for our customers but our team members

Pros

State Farm is a great place to work the people are friendly and the management teams are very supportive in training you to advance your career in the area you are interested

Cons

The only downside ive found in the year ive been here is that the CSSS ( Mangers ) are only in the position for 2 years and then they have to move up in the career or move back down to the position they were before and once you get to know your manager its time for them to move on. However the upside to this is that other people interested can also advance in their career to become a CSSS.

Good paying stable environment, but lagging most Fortune 500 in workplace benefits

Programmer/senior analyst

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Not drastically affected by economic trends and not controlled by stock owners. Can be affected by major weather, natural disasters (hurricanes, brushfires, earthquakes, etc). A company many people stay with for the long haul. Many accounts of people leaving for other "opportunities" only to return. Large corporate environment offering many, many opportunities for different jobs, career path. Excellent well-funded retirement plan. Modern IT campus. Need to work overtime rare.

Cons

Extremely conservative company that tails the fortune 500 in workplace changes. Sparse vacation offering, average benefits. Implemented a casual dress policy Dec '07. Weak 401K contributions. Does not recognize same-sex domestic partner benefits of any kind. Slow to recognize, acknowledge workplace trends, customer segments, minority/sub-cultures. Implementing major projects usually like running through molasses while repeatedly slamming your thumb with a hammer. IT workforce a combination 30% very talented, competent tech, 30% housewives, and 30% incompetent "yes men" in financial holes so deep, they are stepping on each other climbing the corporate money ladder because they had one too many divorces and/or "oops" kids that they suddenly realized will need (a) alimony and/or (b) college educations.
