Pros

Having a wide array of products to offer from a company that is very reputable and has been around forever. Not a person in th world can tell you they have not heard from State Farm.

Cons

Employees of agents are just that, staff of that agent. They make it very clear that you are not employed by State Farm. Corporate loves to cancel people, raise rates, and take away discounts (homeowners) with no explanations because they know they don't have to hear the wrath of the client. It really depends on who you work for but my employer offers no benefits whatsoever and makes it seem like approving a vacation day is actually a favor, sort of like "I'm going to give you this day off but when you come back im going to need this". After a certain time you will not be able to take this job anymore, it is just not rewarding. Unless you want to sell life, health, and banking products, this is not for you.

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
