The company constantly does underhanded things to try and make a buck - they throw their frontline staff under the bus to deal with customers upset about changes they have no control over.
Recently, they no longer allow state to state transfers that maintain tenure in discounts, effectively forcing existing customers to start over from scratch if they decide to move across state lines. Pros None. Cons Stressful, low pay, constantly berated by upset customers, no help from the company or management. If I would do it all over again I would have chosen a different career path and not the one working for a State Farm agent there is not much room for advancement unless you want to become an agent.
Pros Good snacks. Cons No benefits no vacation set in place at the agency. Great company well recognized. State Farm speaks for itself. Many different products to offer. Underwriting is typically fair and expedient. Pros Name recognition. Cons Corporate does not care at all about agent team members.
Share your experience Let job seekers know what it's like to work at your company. Great professional atmosphere. Learned the industry fairly quickly and had great support from managers and trainers.
Reputable company which helped me sell their products. Pros hours, great company, good training. Cons no benefits, low pay. This really depends on the agent you work for if it's not for State Farm corporate. Pay is ok but there are no benefits. If they could add benefits it would be better. Pros Easy company to sell.

One good thing about State Farm, is that they are typically flexible with your schedule, but from there, it all depends on your agent.
A lot of favoritism is played, I knew people that earned more and knew way less than I did. The pay is not worth the stress. Pros Schedule flexibility. Cons No benefits. Nice place to start off your career and open new opportunities.
If you really like to sell insurance, this is the place. Pros Commission when you exceed goals. Cons Sometimes no time to take a break. Freedom Equity Group focuses on selling life insurance and annuities. Its main product is indexed universal life insurance, a form of permanent coverage that provides a cash value in addition to life insurance. For example, if somebody wants to buy a plan through State Farm for life insurance, but the company will not qualify the person do to pre-existing conditions, you will most likely lose that deal to some other insurance company, assuming the company can qualify the client for life insurance.
However, if you represented multiple companies, and could have sold another insurance company instead of State Farm, then you would have sealed the deal, helped the client, and made the commission. And what that translates into is fewer closed deals that will go to other insurance agencies or other agents. An independent agent represents multiple companies. Many times this translates into more prospects converted into sales.
Before you jump into any insurance agency, consider carefully the difference between being captive vs. I train new and experienced agents to become top producing agents in final expense, Medicare Advantage , and annuity sales.

You will not regret your decision. They are very responsive. I get emails about how to improve my business or how they can add value to my business.

Mike Luna 22 Oct 21 I can't imagine there is a better agency to work with whether you are a seasoned agent or new to the insurance business.

Craig Barnes 22 Oct 21 The Duford Insurance Group is a very professional agency with all the tools you need to be become a successful agent.
He truly cares, which is a rare trait. Sales "leaders" make their decisions based on how much they do or don't like you.

State Farm Insurance is experiencing a lot of challenging changes that are greatly impacting us as the Agents. It is becoming harder to grow our business at the rate we need to stay successful.
A typical work day at my agency is balancing one on one customer service with new client sales. We make on average about outbound sales calls each day to generate new business. I learn something new everyday about my team, my customers and people in general. We are self managed as a business owner. I have created processes and procurers for my team to have continued success on a daily basis. My office staff and myself are a very closely net group of people and we take care of each other like family.
The hardest part of this job is dealing with all the restrictions the company has created for us. I do love helping people every day and that is the best part of my job. Pros Team environment and time flexibility. Cons As a owners i have limited finalcial support from State Farm.
Yes There are 4 helpful reviews 4 No. A great company, slow to change, low pay and little support. Currently going through a ton of change to stay competitive with Geico and Progressive. The companies loyalty to old, bitter field agents is killing them.
Nepotism is rampant throughout the company. Pros You own your own business and it's all on you. Paid training for 9 months.
