Pros

Okay PTO accrual Pretty office if at Marina Heights NOT A PRO BUT WANT IT TO BE SEEN: For this type of role, auto claims associate, State Farm pays less than almost any other insurance company, do not be fooled by the hourly, it's not great and if you don't reach metrics your rating is lower therefore your merit raise is lower.

Cons

There had been months of non-optional OT required making work life balance not even a thing. I don't need the OT money. I needed my mental health to get better and relayed that the OT was causing me to burn out and was told get creative and find a way to work it. I resigned. Some leadership had never done the job and were unable to help with the role, making achieving the strict metrics even harder. You are not a human, you are a number. If you can't reach the metrics then you are a poorly treated constantly micro managed number. When I was in office did not seem inclusive or diverse When getting hired you are told Auto ILR is the best position for growth but since it is constantly understaffed you can not leave the dept. Pro tip: quit and post as an external associate and you are more likely to get the promotion

Pros

The people here must all be headed to heaven 😅 never met a bad coworker or manager in my 6 years. They are always having events at work also.

Cons

You have to talk on the phone a lot but to some this is not a con.

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
