Pros

State Farm is truly devoted to helping customers. They have great support systems and the management is committed to helping all the agents be successful. I've worked for a handful of insurance companies and State Farm is the one company that I would feel comfortable recommending to all of my loved ones. Also there is a lot of room for advancement, since there is a large number of agents getting to retirement age without a replacement to follow.

Cons

I don't have a lot of complaints, but I would say that if someone is considering making sales their career I would say to be prepared to work long and hard hours.

Pros

Many different career opportunities Great work-life balance Can't beat the job stability Total compensation package is great, especially these days (salary, performance cash, pension, 401k, healthcare, discounts, state farm park)

Cons

Many areas in Systems have incompetent employees who were put in their positions from other departments in the company, back in the 1990s. Instead of letting go of or moving these type of employees out of Systems, they are often just moved around from team to team. This causes more knowledgeable and driven employees to be unable to move into the Systems department where they would be more valuable. The company is often times very slow/conservative in decision making which causes them to lag behind the competition. However, this culture has begun to change in the last 3 years from the top down.
