State Farm is pure garbage!
This company is pure garbage. I've never witnessed such a debacle in my life. Everything about it is toxic, the commercials, the service, the agents, the cr-p workforce and leadership. I talked to a customer recently that said the same thing and... — read more

State Farm is exhausting
Talented people are quitting left and right, pay isn’t even close to what it should be, and somehow we’re all supposed to do more with less. Even the tiniest tasks take forever, and the stress is constant. Clients are annoyed, everyone’s on edge, and... — read more
The best move now for State Farm
Would be to go on and move all into the hubs and start over. Voluntary exit all wfh employees and get this show on the road. Half in and half out is ki-ling the company. Maybe if they go all in on the hubs they can rebuild the brand.
Like a good neighbor? Nope...
State Farm has turned into the neighbor and neighborhood that you move out of because your housing values are going down, school system has now been taken over by the state and your car has been broken into twice this month. The cops are always down... — read more

State Farm is a soulless, miserable sh-t hole to just to survive

Everything about this place screams “last stop before the cliff"
I think being laid off at this point wouldn't be such a bad thing, considering the current state of SF.
So we still know nothing?
Outside of IT, we still have no idea what's going on?

IT is 100 in scope employees
Just had our meeting...
As expected IT is taking a 600 headcount hit. Look out progressive here we come
