Pros

Benefits Longevity Nice coworkers Decent pay over time

Cons

Current supervisor is very hard to interact with. We just don't click which makes it hard to want to work. My hours are not favorable. I work 3rd shift and have explained to my supervisor that the hours are not working for my family (husband and three children), but no solution is offered only that I may bid for a different work time in 8 weeks. There is no guarantee that I can get the hours I bid for since it is based on seniority. In my position, I am on the phones. My calls and screens are recorded and graded. Have to follow certain word tracks, ask certain questions with every call, not take too much time on a call or you will get a bad "grade." This is such a low paying position that has caused me much anxiety and high blood pressure as well as illness each week since I started. After having been back (this is my third time), I have found that they do not offer a career that I am interested in (health care - holistic).

A company that's like a family

Pros

People treat you like family, compensation and vacation time are very generous, and almost all employees are State Farm Nice. The company promotes heavily from within, and it's easy to work your way up quickly if you are dedicated and good at what you do.

Cons

Employees are not always very driven. Company hires the best fits for its culture, not the best people at their jobs. Promotion is only from within, so you start at the bottom if you're an external hire. The company is conservative: almost all change is very slow.

Pros

Great job, if you find the right agency owner Friendly people Good experience

Cons

Pick the wrong owner and you will get nothing while they reap off your hard work Easy for owners to start being stingy with rewards Older owners, 30+ years, seem to be stingier than the others
