Pros

State Farm has a great systems when it pertains to claim handling. State Farm offer a lot of benefits that other companies don’t. Their office buildings are always clean. Everyone there is friendly. Love their ERGs groups.

Cons

You will not have a life outside of State Farm. While you are in training they promote work life balance and they will help you grow within the company. We’ll that’s all a lie. You are told that your metrics won’t until 6 months end. My metrics started the first month out of training. Thank God I am a fast learner. Then you have unlimited over time that mandatory! That adds about 15-20 hours extra outside if your regular schedule. You work in a team environment. Where you have to guest what people have done if they didn’t properly document the file. They your peers are able to send feedback forms on you. Which I think that they should take away since everyone thought process are subjective when it pertains to decision making . They don’t really pay you enough for the work that you do. It’s very stressful! State Farm is a great company, but they took the human side out of things. Everything is timed so it’s extra stressful. You can’t properly help out the insured or claimant.

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
