Pros
Great family atmosphere.Ability to change careers without leaving State Farm and my benefits due its size, different areas to work in and locations all over the country. Singular focus is on the customer. Not a stock company so dont have to worry about the pressures that come with that. Allows us to have a singular focus on the customer. Personally satisfying work in that we help people everyday recover from losess.
Cons
Alot of the same woes that come with being a big Corporation: red tape, layers to go through, etc. Being the biggest insurer in the US, we are the biggest target for the media and lawmakers. Most of what is said is not true and can be disheartening when we are working so hard to help people and get so much positive praise from our customers. Being an 85 year old company our culture is quite thick and hard to change.
