Pros

State Farm is great because its the leader in auto and home in the Nation. State Farm has great name recognition and really works hard to train its staff with almost no capital invested (as team member not agent)

Cons

If its hard for you to stay motivated in a very competitive field that this job will be hard for you. As a team member you're at the mercy of your agent. You have to make sure you and the agent you decide to work match in personality.

Pros

I've been with the company for 20+ years and have watched all the changes and have been displaced to an operations center. My job is okay, we have been going through additional changes and inventories are increasing but we will survive as we always do. I do feel dearly for my counterparts in ACC, I don't know how you do it. Shift, Shifts and more Shifts!. Pay appears comparable or slighly higher, benefits can be expensive, raises appear better than our competitors but are nothing to write home about. I wish we could could go back to the old days when we had service centers. It seemed much more personal for the insured. Instead we dress like a bunch of slobs and sit in cubes and wait for the next oppurtunity to sound professional! Overall, its not bad, but could be better, I guess not for the bottom line. PS I have an excellent supervisor and that makes a world of difference, trust me I have had all types over the years. Attn Agents!!! Sell, Sell, Sell, all our lives are depending on it. Alot of companies are changing their agency contracts. Progessive is cancelling, Nationwide & Farmers cut renewal premiums, etc. Watch out or you will be next....ie"write and bind"!

Cons

What happened to the good ole days? I just hope another reorganization isn't down the pike. Lots of rumors though!
