I know they keep messing up and we have to fix their mistakes, but realistically, how could they do any better with the training (or lack of) that is provided? Those poor kids are thrust into their roles and expected to know everything from day one... — read more 

The LOC are still awaiting their fate. New hires in Texas.

I really like someone’s post about consulting companies that are hired to help, but don’t really know much about this industry. I am very interested in that topic. I just wonder what all these consulting companies are doing, since the results of... — read more 

One thing I learned in claims. A differing of opinion can often be a good thing but more importantly all involved should use it as a learning experience. The same is true here on this site. It should be important to management and the workers... — read more 

I know this is hopeless to post. But wish that maybe someone in State Farm leadership would hear it. We have no voice to get this kind of message to you. Our leaders won't send it to you. We all went to the mandatory meetings....and they... — read more 

I have a cramp in my stomach every day before I go to work, because even the little motivation I had, they ruined with their culture of fear. Who is motivated through the fear of being replaceable? My motivation is zero now. I only have a motive... — read more 

Like the rest of the world human respect demands vaccine cards. Nothing is fair about the neglect of the honor system.

I have been working at SF for a long time and the changes for the worse started happening much earlier, but it is terrible how much this company has collapsed in just the last year. I can't even imagine what everything will look like in a few... — read more 

Is it even possible to care less about employees than is the case at SF? This company doesn’t care at all about what should be its most valuable asset. Why this is so, I do not know, but I know for sure that the future is doomed and gloomed with such... — read more 

With JB leaving or getting fired...sounds like something big is coming. He really was one of the last old guards around that actually had an idea of what insurance/SF is/was! Usually guys like that go out with a little more flare, recognition or... — read more 

State Farm is dead. This "enterprise" is now the soulless corporation that GJ founded to compete against. Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations. So true. Mecherle to Rust to Tipsord. It's dead. An organization hurling itself to... — read more 

It's a service industry trying to run like a manufacturing business. Anytime you value technology over your employees, you are doomed. The workers are the backbone. Nothing gets done without them and you treat them like robots, like cr-p? Ridiculous... — read more 

Hit the up arrow if currently employed. Down arrow if retired or no longer with the company for any reason.

With the CDC announcing we no longer need masks if vaccinated, you know employees will be sent back into the building any day now. No more working from home!

State Farm Insurance's CEO, Michael Tipsord, has 620 employee ratings and a score of 61/100, placing him in the bottom 25% of similar size companies on Comparably with 10,000+ Employees. How does this guy keep his job? Worse ever. Will SF survive? — read more 

Heard somebody left today. Where did he go? Competitor?

Couple of things, don't say management doesn't care. Most TM/SM/CMs understand.... so you have to remember this is an Enterprise Led organization which means VP and above. Trust me, no one below the VP, has any input or decision making ability other... — read more 

I truly hate this company and everything it stands for. Management talks a good game of wanting us to feel valued and important. What a bunch of crock. In reality, we are none of those things and SF could care less about our wellbeing. So many... — read more 

SF has created an atmosphere of fear. Fear of questioning anything lest you be labeled a non-conformance (and then gigged on performance review). I worked at SF 25 years, then Liberty Mutual (Safeco). LM welcomed challenging questions (unlike SF)... — read more 

How many people do you do the work for? At the moment I certainly do the amount of work that three people would do in normal working conditions. If you work hard, you will get even more work to do - that was the case with me. Thanks to... — read more 

How hard is it for you to leave? Many people find it hard to leave a job even though they know this is no longer the place to be. Instead of leaving, they stay here just because they believe the devil you know is better than the devil you don't... — read more 

I've been following this site for a while, just to keep up with what was once a great company! It's just a couple of months until 60 years from when I started. And 22 years since I retired! I know that a lot of these posts are trolls or just plain... — read more 

With both growth and profit. Sadly for some of you, the shopping experience means Agency, Marketing/Advertising, and tech platforms. All the things you claim are so bad, so unnecessary, and are driving away customers. Except they're adding millions... — read more 

How many things could you have done much better than you actually did? I think that this company can no longer motivate its employees, even those who love their job very much, to try and do their job the best they can. Now I just do my job to earn... — read more 

They don’t seem to see value at all in people who have great talent? Worst of all, SF doesn’t see a problem in talented people with a great skillset going to competing companies. I don’t believe this company has a bright future with such a business... — read more 

Let me clear some things up about the illusion of growth that we are having. Yes it is record growth, you would have to be stupid to not admit that. The only problem is....it is not real growth. You have to have the numbers and history to understand... — read more 

Micromanagent is a trust issue. In essence SF doesn't trust the people working for the company. It amazes me how much management tries to think of ways to monitor us as much as possible, forgetting that they are harming the culture and productivity... — read more 

Whats up with Rivian partnering with Nationwide. Looks like mgmt pi---d off someone again!!

… Fake Jake is now going to be looking through our windows. LOC employees are getting webcams, all the better for Verint to spy on us with.

The new customer doesn’t care what anyone says or how their service is. They want it now and fast and move on. Catering to the demand of the customer while abusing those who serve them.

Remember when the company required 24 hour personal contact with all parties involved in a loss? Inventories were 50 files and customer service was a top priority? Now Inventories are 6 times that amount. Even with technology, how can customer... — read more

Now that another Friday has finally rolled around, I can't wait to read about all the horrors that have been inflicted on all y'all this past week. Make it good people – the whole world's watching...... :–)

I've been watching what people are saying on this site. Don't ever trust your leader. They are politicians! The best thing anyone can do is recognize the fact your leader is a professional liar and manipulator to achieve their goals and do not have... — read more
