Pros

Great atmosphere, great stability and good compensation. All of the benefits are amazing. The company is focused on the promise all the way through the employees. We consider the money we need to spend the policyholder's dollars. Being both an employee and a policyholder, I respect that. Also State Farm is a Mutual Insurance company, which means there are no stocks or stockholders. All policyholders own the company. Don't have to worry about what the market thinks of us to do our job. We focus on the policyholders and what is best for the company.

Cons

Is a large company, can be frustrating on how slow it moves. While additional vacation is given at 5 years, then nothing until 15 years, no additional vacation at 10 years can be a de-motivator. Such small things listed here have to mean something good.

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
