Vantaggi
The agent is very understanding when it comes to taking time off for my childs activities. Job is fairly secure despite economy (everyone has to have insurance). Vacation & sick time are generous.
Svantaggi
Pay is low. Raises are few and far between (haven't had one in over 3 years). Employee turn over is high and agent thinks we can do with just him, myself and one who only works about 30 hrs per week (I'm exhausted!). Bonuses are set so they are just barely out of reach. Bonuses are not equal among employees. Biggest problem is how "team members" are treated by State Farm Corporate - we don't exist. We don't qualify for benefits, scholarships, our opinion is not solicited even though we (not the agents) are the ones dealing with most of the customers. It's discouraging to be treated by State Farm, the "Good Neighbor" people, as if you don't matter.
