Pros

Mutual company so decisions are made based on the customer, not the bottom line. It is not a profit maximization company, which is refreshing.

Cons

Conservative risk management, which slows recognition and reaction to shifts in technical or business models. State Farm historically led these shifts but recently it is being.led by them.

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
