Pros

Retirement benefits and 401K plan

Cons

Seems to be who you are and who you know. Used to be more understanding of family matters, now don't care, it is just a numbers game. Measurement of jobs done using a system that is unfair (currently being rated on how much entered, not how much viewed... Every policy doesn't need an entry).

Pros

They work well with your schedule and take care of their employees. There is always room to grow and be promoted. The pay is decent but for it being a Fortune 500 company it could be better. Some agents and their staff do an amazing job and some slack a little or try to bend the rules. Overall, I enjoy the company and it's like it's own community that spreads virtually to everyone all over.

Cons

Lack communication especially when they had false alarm on an emergency and not getting enough respect from other departments for all that you do.

Pros

State Farm has a good salary and benefit structure for the area, and the work environment is very good, with up-to-date equipment and training provided as needed. They have more or less eliminated any dress code (at least for the systems buildings), and have begun to offer more flexible work arrangements so the employees can tailor their work schedule with their personal life better.

Cons

Flattening of the job classes has resulted in fewer and less frequent promotions, with the result that often 5-year and 25-year employees are in the same job class, just at different ends of the pay scale for it. Coupled with the increasing reliance on externals (non-employees) to do the work, this does not entice employees to stick around--they get the initial experience and then move on. Morale for the longer-term employees who do stay has dropped because of the lack of recognition (verbal and monetary) for their years of experience.
