I’ve been here for a bit now and it’s almost funny to go back and look at the original job posting when I first applied for this job. It’s criminal how badly they misrepresented the role here. You do the elaborate, unnecessarily long training, and... — read more

No more anniversary recognition check. Still get the gift, for now.

State Farm jet taking off right now from Bloomington airport. i wonder the high paid execs are scooting off to now? Too good to fly commercial.

This place is a total sh-t hole. My sister works in Fire and hates her job and I'm in Total Loss and it is a complete disaster. It's not my Team Manager but his my crazy SM and CM that cause constant chaos. My poor TM looks like a scolded dog... — read more

That this blog is senseless. All the talk about the benefits being slashed… woohoo… no such change! Things don’t have to be as bad as you make them.

Ths asian followed Titsford under his guidance and wrote the business model for the new farm then it all went south. A few months later he took a very early retirement (asked to step down). 34 billion dollar underwriting loss for 2002-2024……..omg…..

So folks can retire earlier without taking such a reduction. Please make it years of service plus age = a magic number for full retirement pay. This would be the best way to get those higher salaries off the books.

State Farm is really not even a legitimate business anymore. Scam! Insurance companies from P&C carriers to Health Care are run with no consequences because they have so much money and too much influence. I'm in U/W and I'm done in November as I was... — read more
