Great Work Environment! Love the family atmosphere!

Office Representative Sales (Current Employee)
Chesapeake, VA

I have been working at State Farm full-time for more than 10 years

ProsGreat Pay and Benefits. He listens to our input and makes changes in the office work distribution to balance business goals and our personal strengths. I receive compensation (bonuses) for my sales and receive raises when I reach my individual goals. He is fair and kind to all of his employees. Wonderful to work in his office. The environment, training and ability to set my own salary works for me!

ConsHours can vary during extreme weather conditions. He likes us to be available to talk to customers about storm damage instead of letting them go to the call center. Customers love it! It does not happen often and I would never leave this office!

Advice to Senior ManagementNone. Keep listening to your employees.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Word Processor - State Farm Interview

Word Processor (Current Employee)
Seattle, WA

I have been working at State Farm full-time

ProsUpfront about the details of the position- provided me with a written summary of the job description before the interview. Friendly, welcoming, very professional staff. The culture of State Farm's philosophy and beliefs have been apparent in all interactions with them. They provided me with details of the position that I wasn't expecting- salary, bonuses, incentives, pension, etc. State Farm subsidizes public transportation. Possibility of having flexibility in work hours. Opportunity for advancement.

ConsLocation of this office is downtown- Parking is expensive. Condition of employment to relocate to Seattle. Transferring to another State Farm location was a possibility, but not advised.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Great company, Great benefits

Tech Analyst (Current Employee)
Bloomington, IL

I have been working at State Farm full-time for more than 10 years

ProsWork life balance is amazing. All management is friendly and always happy to talk. I enjoy the work I'm doing and can see how it relates to the whole very easily

ConsBloomington is not really the greatest community for the arts

Advice to Senior ManagementListen to people. Not through surveys, but really really listen to them. However, I am very happy with the accessibility of the upper levels of management. Not a week goes by that we don't have some opporutinty to give feedback to the VPs and that is definitely a good thing
