Pros

Not many pros when I left except for the beautiful friendships I gained working with some of the most most amazing co-workers. We have all been through a lot together over the past few years.

Cons

State Farm used to be a wonderful company that treated it's employees really good, not Google good but still pretty good. In the past few years the Auto Insurance side of the company has taken a terrible turn. They are terrible to their employees and base everything on how many calls or claims a person works and not on the quality of the work which in turn causes poor liability decisions and very poor qualify of handling auto claims in general which in no way is fair to their policy holders. It's unfortunate since we used to pride ourselves of being a step above the rest and not worrying about numbers and more on helping our policy holder no matter what it took. There is no such thing as work/life balance or realistic expectations with sick or weather related absences, No more company picnics or special work groups to encourage values and diversity or any other area of interest, nothing to keep employees happy and engaged.

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
