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?
Agents come first
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'm surprised that more people aren't leaving
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
We are fourth worst insurance company for denied claims

Memos
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.
Spending most of the time sending applications
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?
SF is next
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
It will be interesting to watch SF from a distance
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
Fixing other people's poor work
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
Better times around the corner!
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
No hope what so ever!
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
Going beyond the job description
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
Yes-it is the same everywhere
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
Same issues from year to year
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
They don’t care about SF
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
Who's next?
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
SF is next
American Express business model is same as SF.....it will cost when exposed.
Yum yum
Celebrating 100 years with some amazing cookies. Thank you SF! Only problem is that I am diabetic.
Auto BI claims and Lawsuits !
Out of control……I left this inferno awhile back but have a few friends still trying to hold to their job…..auto bi rep….wow……inventories are 400-500 on the good side……run away train…lawsuits thru the roof….sf insureds getting sued..and if you look... — read more
Income Portfolio 401 k savings plan
Does anyone know what sf is doing with this new income portfolio they are starting ? It cant be good
It will be worse: what are the arguments?
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 would not recommend this company to anyone
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
iHeartLand
Today, audio company iHeartMedia and insurance company State Farm announced a partnership to launch iHeartLand on Roblox. State Farm will have exclusive naming rights to an arena in iHeart’s virtual world. The announcement is tied to State Farm’s... — read more
Risk management company fail
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!
Lots of companies embracing remote
Time to go look for remote jobs out there! Grandpa Farm is not embracing it but many other companies are! Go get it folks!
Worst year since I started working here
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.
Overworked
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
Tell us you hate us without telling us you hate us
100 year celebration gift for the red headed stepchildren- aka remote. 45 cents worth of cookies!
Would you become an Agent?
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?
Just WOW!
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
What are the consequences on not accepting to be overworked?
As work just keeps being added and as management proves that they don’t give a rat's a-s about us being overworked and burned out, I was wondering what would happen if I just refused to do all the extra work and just kept doing my usual amount at a... — read more
Culture is toxic
I guess it's not equally toxic in all departments. Everyone complains about the unhealthy atmosphere but everyone in part contributes to making this place even more toxic. Rarely does anyone try to make this a nicer work environment. What do you... — read more
Is this a good time to change jobs?
I hope that it will not happen but I think that recession will be very hard to avoid. Some of my colleagues are already saying that there could be significant cuts. I’ve been here for six years and I’d love to look for another job, but I’m unsure... — read more
Competent employees bother them
There is less and less space for talented and competent employees here at State Farm. It's been very noticeable for some time now but why is it so? I don’t know the reason, but I know for sure that it doesn’t lead to a bright future for this... — read more
If you were the CEO, what things would you change?
What'd be the first thing that you'd chane as a CEO?
It's becoming impossible to get the workload done
At least in my case it is. I am increasingly struggling to get done the overwhelming workload, although I have enough experience in my job. For now, it seems to me that there is no chance that the workload will become smaller? I would love to leave... — read more
Let your feet do the talking! Sc-m bags!
I cancelled my SF insurance a long time ago...but definitely would know if I hadn't. Be sure to tell the agent why when you do! State Farm, since 2017, has eliminated almost 17,000 jobs. They used deceptive and illegal practices to force older... — read more
So many toxic people at State Farm
I've seen decent people join State Farm, and after a year, they're unrecognizable. It could be that State Farm brings out the worst in people or something else entirely, but most who work here morph into hateful, toxic individuals not long after they... — read more
Like a Creepy Neighbor
How many cancellation are agents getting today? Bigot Farm has been top 10 trending all day. https://www.foxnews.com/media/state-farm-consumers-research-neighbor State Farm accused of pushing LGBTQ+ books on kids, Consumers’ Research launches... — read more
The results are yet to be seen
State Farm is becoming a place where everyone who is capable and has knowledge is undesirable. The consequences of replacing experienced employees with mediocrities that cost less are already starting to be seen and will become even more obvious... — read more
