Pros
They pay for all classes, exam fees, license fees, and mileage reimbursements towards getting your Property, Casualty, Life, & Health state insurance licenses They pay you a reasonable salary for 2-3 months while all you do is sit at home and study for your licenses
Kontras
Well the agent that hired me negotiated a starting hourly rate for me to start training, but didn't tell me (until after training was finished) that my actual working salary after licensure was going to be $9.50 an hour plus commissions. Don't be fooled by the $250 a month in state farm products that you get as a team member, it's actually only good towards "State Farm Financial Products" which is banking, loans, retirement, education, life insurance, annuities, and mutual funds. So in other words, you can't use it towards auto, home, renters, or health insurance. So what's the point?! If you're treated like me than I recommend you take your licenses and find other employment. AAA pays their office team members $16 an hour plus commissions (see Glassdoor). Commission structure is ridiculous. Its way too long to list in this review, but the number of various policies that I am expected to sign each month is completely unreasonable, especially when you consider how expensive State Farm products are compared to other top tier companies (Geico for example runs on average about half the price of State Farm on auto insurance.) Benefits are retarded. During first year you get five vacation days, three personal days, two sick days. No medical.
