Avantages
Insurance is a stable business and State Farm is number 1 in Property and Casualty insurance. The people, as I would consider, good people with friendly values. It's nice to have a secure job in times of layoffs. SF has a pension plan which puts them into a small group of employers offering retirement security. Health care, dental plan, and eye care plan are nice benefits. State Farm headquarters is located in a small community location which is nice.
Inconvénients
Can be very boring work at times. Sometimes a lack of future vision or changing due to some consultant or upper management decision which tends to chew up money. Management considers delegating most responsibilities to the next level below them. When you need direction it tends to be on the analysts shoulders.
