Pros

The only pro this company has is that it has a pension. That however, is not enough to have to put up with the slave ship called State Farm.

Cons

This company was amazing before Ed Rust retired. The management really cared for you and the benefits were amazing. I was proud to work at state farm right until they reorganized their company and turned it into the pile of garbage it is now. This company doesn't care if about moral or helping the employee. I was hired there as a bilingual employee with that salary applied. 3 years ago I was forced to sign a document that said the salary given to me can change based on business need because the Spanish differential was not part of your salary. If i didn't sign I would not have a job. Shortly after they stated i was not needed in the spanish line . They lowered my salary immensely stating that i should not have ever used the spanish differential as a means of steady income. Sorry but after 10 years of having said income added to your salary you are bound to use it as a means of income. So I was forced to look for somewhere else which I did find an amazing place to work at. When I handed my resignation I was told to leave at once and was basically treated like I was fired for doing something wrong. Now they have promoted a bunch of my old colleagues only to tell them that they are closing the office and either you move to another state or you will not have a job. I know that it's business nothing personal but you can alreast show some empathy or show some concern for your loyal employees

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
