State Farm

I made great friends here after moving from Ca, but the fact of not working 40 hrs and working for a racist boss was very difficult.

State Farm was highly micromanaged. If a boss doesn’t like you they can do whatever they want to get you terminated. Managers treat their staff like they are children and have no respect for them as employees of the company. It was nearly impossible to move up in the company unless you knew the right person. All the company cares about is profits, not the customer or their employees. I do not recommend this company.

This company was a great company, they offer great rates. The people that I met through SF were awesome. I would say my management system that I was under was not so great. However, I recommend this job to anyone that is wanting to have a schedule that's relatively set and chance for advancement if willing to work hard.

I worked as an operator that handled misdirected calls. I would transfer people to the correct claim person that was handling their claim.

I was extremely underpaid by the agent I worked for and was never given any of the incentives I was promised. It’s pretty pathetic that a multi-billion dollar company can’t pay their employees what they deserve.

personally, i feel that the staff reps and office managers, who have to be fully licensed insurance agents through the state, giving them the same credentials as the Agent owning the office. not to mention, often times these reps and office managers sell and produce extremely more than the actual agent themselves.. these women are extremely UNDERPAID!!!

SF used to be more of a family driven company that cared for the people that worked there. Now totally corporate and numbers and layoffs and job loss Would I recommend? Not now!

This company is a great company to work for, excellant training, good pay and benefits but a little expensive, and most managers are fair. The last few years, they went through a huge restructuring and there was so much chaos. The hours were long and there was no help to alleviate the enormous amount of calls and reassigned files from other states. It was a nightmare, and hopefully all is better with them. Unfortunately, they closed the claims offices in my area so we were laid-off.

For the last 10 years, it’s been a leadership churn and because of it, poor leaders are allowed to reproduce. Many upper leadership are corrupt and dishonest. If you don’t suck up to the boss, you don’t get ahead. Yet, many times, the “boss” doesn’t know much about what’s going on, nor does he/she try to find out. Those who know, don’t make the decisions unfortunately. The salary in the tenured ranks is good but otherwise, not so great. There are many other companies in the same industry who are more “progressive” and value their employees with pay, fun, and seem to be part of the 21st century in how they lead their people.
