Pros

Flexible work schedule Pretty good benefits

Cons

Nepotism is extremely prevelant within the company. Ability for upward mobility is extremely limited. Continuing education within the American Insurance Institute trumps real work experience or other education, i.e. MBA, J.D. or PhD. There is no culture of leadership or high performance. Human Resources is a joke; they are not skilled professionals, but merely employees hired from within. State Farm agents are extremely harrassing/unethical and management allows them to persuade the outcome of any claim. State Farm agents are held to no moral or ethical standard.

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
