Pros

It is the best insurance company with the best claims service in the nation. We kind be confident that State Farm will be fair and usually take care of the customers claims in a timely and fair manner. We have many good products from auto, fire, life and health along with banking to take care of most every need. I wouldn't feel comfortable selling insurance for a company that I didn't believe would stand behind their products or be able to take care of them. Since State Farm has been conservative in most of its decisions, we are not one of the companies that are going under like so many at this point in time.

Cons

Everything has changed from taking care of the customer to only being concerned with writing new business.

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
