Pros

State Farm is a stable foundation. When folks are young, they like to be on the bleeding edge of the workforce and technology and that is great for them and their industry; however, they will find that it takes constantly re-inventing yourself and the things you represent. For the long haul, people should realize the importance of having a secure place to work that enables you to live the life you want. You can get burned out over long periods if you always live to work. State Farm enables you to get what you need to live, both as an employee and a customer. A tremendous compliment to the progress of society.

Cons

The retirement benefits are a bit lower than some other companies and some people cannot handle the move to mid-Illinois. Those are really the only negatives to working there.

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
