I am genuinely worried about the state of affairs at State Farm after reading these posts. I had a beautiful 30 years with State Farm, but the last three years were unbearable. The first 30 years were wonderful dealing with the customer. There... — read more 

The Answer is a UNION! Watch for private information on social media! We can have control of where we work, how we are treated AND assignments.

This leadership should go back to school. They are failing on the most basic issues. It has been proven over and over again that happy employees are more productive and if you treat your workers well it will pay off. But it seems nobody let our... — read more 

Overworked in proximity claims. Supposed to be all about the customer. But when your are over worked you cannot provide the service needed. People leave and are not replaced. Yet it is all about the numbers and how many files are being closed. No... — read more 

If you think you are going to work remotely all but 5 days a month, you’re wrong. SF is losing call center employees faster than they can be trained and replaced. If your goal is to work from home I’d start looking and applying elsewhere... — read more 

Does anyone actually do the development questions or put any effort into them? It’s always questions based on metrics like I can control who’s calling in on rework or how I can do better. Like why in the actual F do we have to answer these... — read more 

I know a bunch of people who are miserable at SF but they don't want to leave because they don't want to miss out on severance. They are willing to continue being miserable for who knows how long on an off chance they might be laid off and given... — read more 

Is it just claims and underwriting with so many issues with metrics and micromanaging and workloads and roles and dissatisfaction?

Are ILR and Express CAs going back to the office full time? I hope so. Those jokes need as much supervision as possible. If you aren’t smart enough to add 2+2 then you have no business working more than 5 feet from your TM. The WFH should be... — read more

It seems there are plans being made in other departments while AFSs are sitting in limbo not knowing what the future role if any will look like? Anyone out there hearing anything??

Your thoughts on founders week? This week we were allowed a team huddle, no mention of it due to a backlog of directives due to huddles being cancelled the last month. Only reason I noticed was the home page. You need to make a special account to... — read more 

Maybe they are keeping the LOC employees around a little bit longer. Anybody have some insight?

They don’t even seem to realize how dissatisfied employees are? Sometimes I get the feeling that leadership is totally detached from reality and that they essentially don’t even know what things look like from the perspective of ordinary employees... — read more 

They keep adding as much work as possible to an employee's plate until they snap. Then they know the limit and placate the employee with "you're our best worker" and similar platitudes as they keep their workload at the barely sustainable level. Then... — read more 

The attrition is ridiculous because people are leaving within months (in some cases even weeks) of joining the company. I've noticed that one of the main reasons is the lack of proper training. People are thrown into the fray with the barest... — read more 

SF is NOT the SF it once was. SF was a company that was respected and everyone begged to be part of. SF was the red carpet of insurers. Today, I have not run into any employee from the VP level down that would recommend a friend nor a family member... — read more 

Legit question. Disappearing adjusters, no communication with policyholders. Adjusting roof claims differently as of March. How is that even possible?

This is for the people in the hubs. I'm hearing RA and PA levels will be back 5x a month starting around September. Section Managerss go back first starting next month. Managers should start getting updates next week. What do you think of this? — read more 

It seems like claims is a pretty horrible place to work, and maybe some of understanding. However, many of the other departments (like the one I work in) are really great and a completely different experience. I wonder why that is

Hard work - check. Bring value - check. Learn fast and grow skills - check... I would like to know how is it possible to get a promotion at SF, but I think I will leave this company sooner than I will be able to get a promotion. Here it seems... — read more

What's an ideal employee by SF standards? According to my experience so far, after a little more than 5 years, SF requires employees to be young but to have the experience and knowledge of someone who has been in this business for years, to be... — read more 

If we look at earnings and profits only then NO, SF is not a sinking ship. It takes time for those the top floor of the ship to get their feet wet when water gets inside.

I did not know the business definition of “rework” until I started working here. Start applying now that the economy is opening up.

Why are TMs and LDAs and “Managers” acting like university types amd high school principals amd teachers rather than working Managers & leaders. The whole model is weird and propaganda Managers now? It’s not good or best practice or business... — read more 

Bloomington made the top ten list (number 6) of houses taking the longest to sell. Tell you something? Maybe Bloomington employees need to move to Phoenix, Dallas, or Atlanta?

At first I hoped the company would get back on track. Later I accepted that nothing would be the same as before but I hoped the fall would not be as fast. It is now clear to me that this is sinking at the speed of light. Can't they at least slow down... — read more
