Business outlook
Pros
Recognize that there is life outside of State Farm; good recognition of work/life balance; time off policies reflect very family friendly atmosphere; State Farm "nice" meant most everyone was very friendly; as a private company they are not as prone to the market ups and downs and can think more strategically when it comes to finding the right balance between profit and cost cutting. Great pension package!
Cons
Hard to get the foot in the door at the appropriate level. Those who start off their careers or are very early in their career can move up. Those who want to enter in at a mid career level have a difficult time getting into the company.
