Pros

As a part-time employee I get medical and vision insurance, and I get to participate in the 401(k). State Farm also offers bonuses every year, as long as the company ears a profit. State Farm also still offers a pension plan.

Cons

Salary for para-professional positions is way below average. Geico pays their reps $15.50 an hour for only taking auto claims. State Farm wants their reps to handle both Auto and Fire claims, and only wants to pay $12.91/hour. There is also too much micromanagement in the customer services roles. Unless you are willing to move to Bloomington, IL you won't have a chance to move beyond a third, maybe fourth, level of management.

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
