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

Pros
State Farm has good benefits and good people. There is an extensive training program.
Cons
The metrics are unbearable. State Farm is losing customers and great employees because of the micromanagement of each call. Average handle time is recorded daily and "coached" in front of the team on a daily basis if not met. It's nearly impossible to give the quality of customer service that State Farm customers need and deserve during a claim call during the time allotted to do so. The stress and the constant "coaching" is driving good employees away.

I am switching from being a Licensed Producer for Allstate to Underwriting for StateFarm. What is the culture like over at StateFarm?

I would say they have a decent culture. Overall people are nice and generally supportive or willing to help.

Where is this from?
8 years experience as an account manager with State Farm and recently had salary increased to $40K + commission. I still feel I am being way under paid on my salary for everything I do. Thoughts?

If this is Commerical that's very low unless the commission is huge.

Has anyone heard the news that State Farm is ending homeowner policies in California? How will this affect Residential Property Field Adjusters? I am concerned about job security since auto and commercial jobs with State Farm in California are majority already filled.

Is this 100% for sure?? Seems awfully radical but of course hearing it from California isn't necessarily surprising...
