Pros

This used to be a very long list but that is no longer the case. There are still plenty of talented people working here but all the other pros are gone

Cons

After 28 years with State Farm I see a completely different company than I grew professionally with. While the organization needed changes to keep pace in the industry the changes leadership have implemented are utterly destroying at great organization. It will not be too many years before we are no longer #1 Senior leadership can’t stay focused on any single strategy, wasting time and resources. There is no concern for service at all, employees are treated horribly, pay is slowly declining (used to be very good) and most of all the unquestionable integrity we once had is fading with our current leadership group.

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
