https://time.com/charter/6195329/state-farm-case-study/ State Farm, the insurer whose “Good Neighbor” campaign exudes unassuming friendliness, offers a case study in how to create a mess with your employees and with customers in a highly polarized... — read more 

If you are considering working at SF or are a current employee, go find a new job or do not even consider coming to work at SF. Over the last 5-6 years our current CEO-MT has completely fleeced the company of all of its claim experience. SF... — read more 

So the rumor is....there are going to be significant lay offs announced!

This is such a stressful environment. I did the same job in another company, so now I can make a comparison. There is incomparably more stress here. No day goes by without some stressful situation. Is there anyone here who can relax (at least a... — read more 

We finally got the news in Auto Underwriting we only have to come into the office 1-2 days a month effective July! My sister works over in claims and they are still forcing them into the office a week a month and everyone keeps getting COVID!... — read more 

Working in claims at SF is definitely not a job for me. I would appreciate it if someone who worked in claims at competitors could tell me if it is as miserable as here?

The only thing they care about is agents. That’s it. Not customers, not employees. Just agents. The stark difference between the way they handled the company’s 100 year milestone for agents vs employees is a perfect example of this. Agents got... — read more 

I've quit. A lot of people are leaving, but given the working conditions here, isn't it surprising that even more people aren't leaving? At one point I thought the attrition would be much higher. The management has obviously been very lucky so... — read more

People are now getting written up for pushing back on the ridiculous mandatory overtime requirements. Be prepared for people quitting at higher rates and increase in the amount of mandatory overtime.

Venting is good, but a lot of venting is not good. I hope you all spend more time looking for new jobs than trying to find the best words to express your dissatisfaction here?

Watch and see. SF will be next just like other companies to give its employees an added "benefit" of travel expenses to have an abortion. I would hope they really think about it before they jump on the bandwagon like Di-ks Sporting Goods, Kroger... — read more 

This company has changed a lot. Some think it will get even worse. At the moment, it's hard for me to imagine what could become worse than it is now. In what sense do you think things will get worse? Could it possibly get any worse than it is... — read more 

It is not my responsibility to fix the poor work of my coworker! The worst part is that my manager doesn’t think so, so I fix the coworker’s mistakes almost every day. Anyone else who has to deal with that? How do you handle all this? A colleague... — read more 

Here is what to expect. Of the 10,000 people SF is going to hire around half will be gone within a year. Expenses are going through the roof and growth is slowing down. Still good but never the less still going down. Geico and Progressive are... — read more 

I've been with SF for 28 years and going to retire in 4 more. I have a business outside of SF so that gets me to 55 and I will be done! Great now that I can take my medical and delay taking my pension. We are starting to get a lot of the new hires... — read more 

I’m still much better off here than at my previous company, but I’m already thinking about leaving. The original job description and what I am actually doing here are very different. I do a lot of things that weren’t part of the job description at... — read more 

For those in denial--this is copied from thelayoff.com Allstate Insurance earlier today. Sound familiar? No, it's not fun. But it's insane to pretend that it's a State Farm problem and to deny it's an everywhere thing. It's time for transparency The... — read more 

It is sad that employees have the same complaints year after year. I can only conclude that State Farm did not intend, nor does it intend to improve anything here. I wish I wasn't right and if there is any issue from 6-7 years back that has been... — read more 

Management only cares about their income. Did they invest any effort in retaining good employees? If they did, I didn't notice it. Do they care about the future of this company? Unfortunately, I don't think they care about that at all. — read more 

So had a blast at the agency convention but thought it was a little too much and somewhat in poor taste with everything that is going on! Great to see friends, Ed and Garth! One thing that was very obvious was that MT is completely checked out and... — read more 

American Express business model is same as SF.....it will cost when exposed.

Celebrating 100 years with some amazing cookies. Thank you SF! Only problem is that I am diabetic.

Does anyone know what sf is doing with this new income portfolio they are starting ? It cant be good

There is a lot of truth in the posts I read here, but some also exaggerate a bit. Those who think things will get worse here usually give no argument as to why they think so. What are your arguments?

I just discovered this page and I've been reading through the posts. I can say I agree with 90 percent of what's been written here. State Farm has a highly toxic culture that is employee unfriendly. Merit means almost nothing, in part due to rampant... — read more

Selling more policies year over year while letting the staff dwindle seems to be a blatant breach of the contract, the promise to service the customer when life doesn’t go right. It’s as simple as that!

Time to go look for remote jobs out there! Grandpa Farm is not embracing it but many other companies are! Go get it folks!

I've been here for a little over six years. For me, this is the worst year at SF so far. How about you? I thought 2022 would be much better.

State Farm is not my dream job, but let’s just say I don’t complain about the amount of work I have to do. Yes, I work a lot, but I like my job, so it's not particularly difficult for me. There are many here who say they are overworked, but that is... — read more 

100 year celebration gift for the red headed stepchildren- aka remote. 45 cents worth of cookies!

I was recently contacted by a recruiter to become an agent. I found this site doing my research and due diligence. Wow, I didn’t expect this many workers at State Farm this upset! In todays environment would you become an agent?

Today was the best day at SF in a long time! My jaw dropped when MT rolled out ED! (Almost like when Obama rolled out Clinton to save his presidency) Holy sh-t! For all the new folks that is what an actual real SF CEO looks, acts, and sounds... — read more
