State Farm

"It's not how good you are at the job and how much knowledge you have in your job but if you are willing to take courses and do outside work activities that will get you promoted. If you are a young Mom with kids at home or just want to do a good job in your department, you will not be promoted. You also have to be mobile."

"If you are willing to move every 5 years & can handle stress you will do well."

"In the past this has been a very solid company with great benefits and opportunity for advancement. Recently State Farm has taken on a new management style and for now it is not being handled well. Production and "efficiency" drives are creating a cut throat environment, and eliminating the pride in customer service that brought meaning to our careers in years past. For 2015/2016, I would stay away. Here's hoping this Company will recover, as it used to be a great place to work."

"Be very careful about the agent you work for. Find out about any benefits up front. Also look into the office staff before accepting an offer of employment, for example look up the office staff on social media to see what kind of people you will be working with."
