Pros

Due to current state of the company the pros are minor compared to the cons.

Cons

Plenty. State farm doesn't care anymore about employees. More concerned with bottom line. They forget that happy employees help make that bottom line. When employees are unhappy, the bottom line suffers and so does service. Morale is extremely low....again they do not care. Go back to way State Farm used to be...care about your employees. The founder of the company is spinning in his grave with the bad direction this company currently going. Time to change before you go from #1 to #100 in the industry.

Pros

Benefits, amazing coworkers, and job stability.

Cons

Micro management is at an all time high. The worst part is, we're years behind other companies who have already tried this and realized it fails. Morale is absolutely god awful in every department.

Pros

Pension and 401K if you can stick it out long enough to qualify.

Cons

There is intense pressure to work the claim as far as you can in one touch in a limited amount of time. To achieve the proper "metrics", too many associates will leave many things undone which pushes your wrap time out of compliance if you try to do the right thing. Then you get called out in front of your co-workers at huddle for not meeting expectations. Your name and "bad results" are written in red on a board hanging outside of your manager's cubicle for everyone walking by to see. Never mind that most of your customers rave about the service that you gave them. Never mind that many were ready to switch to a different carrier over bad claim handling, non-caring/rude associates, mistakes, etc. and you saved the customer. You can't have it both ways. Associates are in such a hurry to get out of the claims that they don't do a thorough job. They make gross mistakes. They don't care. Then you try to do the job the right way and are chastised. It's demoralizing and a miserable all around experience. I regret accepting the job offer with every fiber of my being.
