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

There are many opportunities for development and advancement within the company. State Farm mostly promotes from within and coaches you to be promoted to the position you are interested in. While they do not lead the market in their pay scales, it is adequate and the company culture is worth it. State Farm is very focused on diversity inclusion and awareness.

Cons

With the focus on diversity being so accute, it seemed at times that minorities were promoted over non-minorities for positions they were less qualified for.
