I have a job offer from State Farm, but I'm a little nervous. I've heard some rough things about working for them. Is State Farm really that bad or are the rumors over exaggerated?

I agree with this. It definitely depends on what team you are on and the role you are doing. Overall, I don't hear bad things about them as a company.

That's interesting. I've known people who worked there and absolutely loved it. I think it depends on your department, your manager, your location. I had a good friend who worked there for over 10 years and would happily go back if they could.

I did time at the state plantation mutual insurance penitentiary.. if you like being treated like a slave, reporting to managers who are paid and treated like glorified associates, mandatory voluntary overtime. And apparently now, strict requirements of only two 15 minutes breaks and a 45 minute lunch break, and no ability to go into an unplanned status if you need to run to the restroom before your next break or deal with an urgent issue. Then you should totally apply. Otherwise I'd highly consider looking elsewhere

Are you pretty desperate for a job? Like if you are out of work and they offered you a job I would take it. But if you’re currently employed, and you don’t hate your job, I would keep looking.

We have people come here to work since they are not tied to any one carrier. We are brokers so we have access to over 40 insurance companies to help our clients. My husband and I own our agency - we've been doing this for over 10 years. The difference is you make commission here and you have no cap on how much you can make. You work from home, remote and set your own schedule.

Most of the time the only response that is needed is “Yes, Seller agrees to satisfy all B-I requirements and to execute an owners affidavit at closing...”

I've done so well in this new role within the company that they are hiring another person to assist with what I do. I've voiced to my boss that I'd like to manage this department and they indicated that this is the thought for the future. Now they are asking me to train this person while I have my plate full. Is it wrong for me to expect either a promotion or to be paid to train this person?
