Pros

Most of the people honestly believe in the company and the products. I still use the products and still recommend them. State Farm is a big company and financially strong. They are able to pay their claims. They even pay other companies share when they are forced by federal policies in place.

Cons

They are a big company. Some times they are slow to change. They are very conservative with both risk and money, thus certain markets they could insure they choose to stay out of OR they price themselves out. It could be very frustrating.

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
