The best place in the world to work, until CEO Ed Rust was forced out.
Pros
Decent benefits, competitive salary. I had to write at least 20 words under "Pros" to submit this. This is all I could come up with, unfortunately.
Cons
Zero flexibility. Zero job security. Zero work/life balance. No Fridays or Mondays available for Time off until March of 2019 (it is now Mar 2018). So no long weekends for an entire year. Nearly impossible to find capacity to leave for a 2 hour Drs appt. Drs appts are supposed to be overridden, but they make you jump thru hoops (reschedule the apt, or switch entire shifts with someone else) to keep your appointment. This involves another person's full schedule for one person to go to their Dr. Completely senseless. You have to bid against everyone else for vacation time off. Then, because capacity (time availability) is so low, you often have to come in for an hour in the middle of your time off, limiting out-of-town getaways with your family. This is becoming all too common. Years of employee loyalty no longer mean ANYTHING to State Farm.
