Pros

Provided equipment, great benefits, and paid trip to Bloomington to see the headquarters.

Cons

Utterly overloaded by claims. I personally got 10 claims per day when the average for other companies was 3-4. I know others State Farm employees that got 16 claims within a day. The expectations were completely outrageous. I worked from home and hardly saw my family because I was always working. The insureds don't know how much you're overworked, they only want to know why you haven't called them back yet. In reality, you have 30 voicemails piling up, tasks to complete before 2pm, multiple agents sending instant messages telling you to contact other insured for an emergency. Mandatory overtime is a reality if you can't finish within the normal hours. You also have to work other people's claims on top of your own. It's mostly for folks that are on vacation or called out for that day- Congrats! Now you'll have a total of 12 claims for the day... when 1 claim can take up to an hour to complete depending on complexity. I was calling people at 6am or 8pm just to "keep up" with metrics and keep my number from turning red... It was a lot...

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
