Pros

Casual dress; management is supportive of work/life balance; salaries are competitive for the workload; good people; Willing to re-train you to other positions; flexibility to move around the company. Great place to retire; pension is nice.

Cons

Innovation can get squashed unless you are in the 'inner circle'. If you play golf and like to talk sports all day; you'll do great. IT management can lack understanding of the technologies they are managing; hard to motivate employees who have an 'entitlement' mentality; harmony over results; small town big company results in many people being connected outside of work; Have to be careful about what you say and what you do out in public.

Pros

Great training program at State Farm. Within a month, I knew almost everything I needed to know to do a great job. The office was very upbeat and my coworkers were very helpful.

Cons

Very high turnover. I felt daily pressure to impress management and continually increase my numbers for fear of being let go. Very little opportunity for advancement, at least not in the short-term.
