Pros

*Great emphasis on employee development and work/life balance *The company is super-focused on our customers *Very stable and respected company *Tuition reimbursement available after one year of employment *Amazing employee retention and tenure; most people do not want to leave once they've started! *Excellent benefits, including an available credit union membership. The benefits are very comprehensive. *Support and rewards for industry education. State Farm helps their employees be the most knowledgable in the industry. *A very respectable and straightforward culture. They don't put up with any 'shenanigans', if an employee does something dishonest or unacceptable they will be fired. This is in keeping with State Farm's dedication to service and keeps employee pride and morale high. *I am very proud, and happy, to be employed by State Farm. Have been with them for fewer than 5 years and hope to be working there until retirement.

Cons

The only downside that I have seen is that State Farm is so focused on doing what is right and remaining stable and profitable and secure that sometimes it takes us longer to make changes than it would at other companies. This is also partly due to the fact that we're such a huge insurer.

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
