Pros

Not sure for someone new to the company

Cons

This was a company that was a family, where you went for a career not a job. When you started here, most wanted to retire here. Now, the new CEO and leadership has changed this to a place I can't wait to get away from even if that means unemployment. There has been non-stop restructuring for years now and since they can't get it right, it doesn't stop. As other companies are moving towards flexible work schedules, telecommuting, State Farm is going in the opposite direction.

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
