State Farm reviews

Management was very nice and helpful with my progress as an employee.

The nature of the company being a very large corporation, made for integration of new technology to be very slow and inconsistent.

Hands-on experience with current and potential clients, made for fast learning about selling and about the insurance industry.

I begin working at State Farm in 2014. It was a great company. It appeared to be a great place to grow.

The company begin to change for the worst around 2017. They began to hire anyone and the opportunity to grow was dependent upon "who you know" versus "what you know". The pay isn't the best compared to other similar roles.

Easy to get hired.

Structure and opportunity to open your own office and make a descent living.

cold calling in sales. You're at the underwriter's mercy, agents can very seldom do favors for their clients anymore.

worked for a top selling agent so commission structure was nice

I get to help people save money on their insurance, while I am making sales.

There is no room for advancement, unless you have a large amount of capitol.

My favorite benefit is the flexibility that my schedule allows, and the difference of the day to day.

Great Office. Lots of communication between Agent and Underwriters. Number one insurer in the U.S. For Auto and Home insurance.In my opinion, the best insurance company to work for.

Learning how great State Farm really helps there clients/ customers in their time of need.

work life balance

average pay

good people

The mandatory overtime. No work/life balance if you work in claims. Very stressful, customer focused environment. Employees are abused and not compensated enough.

Annual bonus

Total rewards

Understaffed undertrained

Annual Employee Incentive Program , it can amount to 10% of annual employee salary depending on the company growth and individual employee performance.

People, family friendly, opportunities

Pension but they don’t offer that to new employees now

Learning new things and challenging environment

Agent not there so no structure

The flexibility and not having to feel micromanaged.

The 401k matching program, retirement plan, and being vested in the company after 5 yrs.

Helping the customers achieve their ultimate goals.

Having to Sacrifice {at the instructions of management} the quality of the work for quantity.

The ability to work overtime./bonuses/pensions.

Worked there over 25 years prior to being laid off. Liked and appreciated the constant learning and experiences.

There is nothing I did not like about working there.

Knowledge gained and benefits

Great work environment, progressive, high paced

Constantly staffing changes requiring relocations

Retirement pension

Great atmosphere

Call Center

part time shifts + being able to go home early if necessary

Decent pay, decent PTO

Managers are either very strict or very lazy, no accountability for upper levels, managers and specialists are often straight up mean.

Insurance is good.

Helping people, helping customers, explaining coverage to people, walking people through claims

Dealing with angry customers who cannot be soothed

I keep busy all day and my supervisor appreciates my abilities

Speed requirements--every minute is accounted for

Healthcare

The wealth of insurance knowledge obtained. They train their employees to be experts in the field and be the best and most knowledgeable

Health

Helping educate customers about insurance

Pressure to sell and environment

Vacation time paid

The people and stability of the company.

No opportunity to do what I want.

Pension and benefits.

State Farm has switch to a work at home environment?

nothing everything is great

yearly bonuses

Helping people protect their assets & understand insurance products

Nothing

I love the office hours with no weekends. Specialized service and value needed products.

Opportunity to continue to help people and help them protect their dreams

The support from corporate did not exist, the back end up was no help

State Farm provided its employees no benefits or discounts

Great learning experience. Lots of room to grow.

Not fast paced.

Earning my licenses.

Work Life Balance, goal oriented, delivering a good product, and being client focused on what they need

Insurance and high volume sales

Flexible working hours

I love helping people and I get the opportunity to do that every day

I want to focus on financial services and I am not currently able to do so

PTO

The overall benefits are well worth the job perks.

The pay for the job classes is not enough and doesn’t even meet industry standard to keep employees on board.

Tuition Assistance

Excellent health benefits, great coworkers, competitive pay and retirement benefits.

Brutal call metrics. Job insecurity in the claims departments as State Farm closes smaller offices and consolidates to just four hub locations in Bloomington IL, Atlanta, Dallas, and Phoenix.

Family environment, small office, competitive markets

Very strict “sell our way” rules- very frugal.

Schedule was great. 9-5 with weekends off to spend with family

Flexible Work Process

Low production

Flexible Work Schedule & Work from Home opportunities

the people (coworkers), the customers were crazy or senile

cold calling, cold calling, cold calling

1 hour break, the chipotle and fives guys that were around the corner

Diversity

Constantly changing procedures

Flexible schedule and health insurance

Job security

I didn’t

My pension.

I like the level of Work life balance the company offered through life leave and paid time off policies.

Inconsistent leadership and policies

Tuition reimbursement

There was a great work-life balance. Management were very accommodating and polite.

The pay wasn’t the best and I felt that I can be better service in a different position than I was in.

Opportunity for over time pay

No horrible place and unethical

The managers are narcisstic

Salary is the only reason to be there

commission

hard to see a future in that profession, terrible company

Not sure

good work life balance. don't have to bring work home after 5pm.

Pay doesn't match volume of work. extremely difficult to make a salary to live off.

Great benefits and resources, constantly evolving.

Heavy work volume and not enough salary

The schedule 8:30-5

Sales and making cold calls

Trips for reaching a certain quota

I'm independent and create my own schedule

The only next step up is owning my own office, and the market is not great at the moment

Control over my own schedule

It was a good place to work, friendly superiors and co-workers. It is a good position for someone who works well in a call center environment.

PTO and sick time are grouped into one bucket.

Instant benefits, no 90 days waiting period

Training and people I work with are awesome

Pay is low for the position

Benefits

Flexibility and under an independent agent

Working for commission Plus salary and many many changes

Boss provides lunch and takes us on “team building” dinners, concerts, etc..

Structure and opportunity to open your own office and make a descent living.

State Farm Park - swimming, mini golf, volleyball courts, tennis courts, etc.
