Pros

Overall, State Farm is good company that offers reasonable job security if one is willing to move with the company.

Cons

Ever growing workloads... State Farm will gladly take every ounce of energy you are willing to share. However, others who are willing to do the minimum to get by seem to be fairly happy and content with their State Farm careers.

Pros

The Company truly cares about their customers and provides a needed servcie to the community. The products offered can really affect someone's life and well being. Insurance as an industry has taken a beating frmo the general public, but State farm really does try to settle claims in a fast and fair manner.

Cons

Sometimes the promotion opportunites appear to be made on a politcial basis rather than on a truly competitive basis due to merit. There are often clashes between the operations side of the business and the agency side, with the agency side getting more satisfaction and attention and money to solve their problems.

Pros

Great family atmosphere.Ability to change careers without leaving State Farm and my benefits due its size, different areas to work in and locations all over the country. Singular focus is on the customer. Not a stock company so dont have to worry about the pressures that come with that. Allows us to have a singular focus on the customer. Personally satisfying work in that we help people everyday recover from losess.

Cons

Alot of the same woes that come with being a big Corporation: red tape, layers to go through, etc. Being the biggest insurer in the US, we are the biggest target for the media and lawmakers. Most of what is said is not true and can be disheartening when we are working so hard to help people and get so much positive praise from our customers. Being an 85 year old company our culture is quite thick and hard to change.
