Pros
Co-workers are nice (well 75%; there's about 25% that are rude and don't speak) Stable company Benefits are descent (overtime pay, healthcare, bonuses, dental, 401k, pension, etc.) Growing HUB locations offer more opportunity in the Atlanta area, but very competitive
Kontras
Location is too congested (Dunwoody) State Farm Recruiters used "Bait and Switch" for hiring Extremely low salary compared to other underwriting jobs in the insurance industry Not enough Paid Vacation (a lot less than my previous employer offered to new hires) Very Competitive based on the mass hiring involving college students, etc. so may be extremely difficult to advance in company Must be in position that you were hired for, for 24 months before you can apply to a different position (incumbency period) non-negotiable pay Old fashioned building with horrible plumbing (however state farm did make the offices "look" nice, but looks can be deceiving Extremely slow elevators causing it to take you at least 7 whole minutes to just get out of the building at the end of the day Only 45 minute lunches (My last job gave us 1 hour lunches) 1 year + long training before starting actual position From what I have heard from co-workers that have been with the company 5+ years, the company's culture is changing for the worse. This is causing unhappy employees and very high turnover
