Pros

They have good benefits and a nice facility in Richardson.

Cons

1) You really don't have time to breathe. They have a 10 hour shift option but they only give you two 15 minute breaks. They even hound on you for taking a break to use the restroom. 2) They lie to you about being able to move within the company. Once you are hired, you are put on a freeze and they keep pushing back the date on when the freeze will be lifted. 3) Those same positions that internal employees want to get promoted to are being filled by external people with no experience and are getting paid way more 4) Management doesn't care about its employees. State Farm cares about the top management people but not the first line employees such as Auto ILR, Express, CAs . 5) They say its feedback oriented but really its just a negative environment all around. You could have hundreds of amazing calls and interactions but they will find even the smallest thing and give you feedback.

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
