What don't you like about working at State Farm Insurance?

"Vertical communication within State Farm is slow and overly congested. While this can be typical for large organizations (State Farm's corporate headquarters hosts more than 17,000 employees), the result is that simple requests and communiques can become lost or receive painfully slow responses that negatively impact work flow. This was my least favorite part about working at State Farm."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"State Farm management should simplify and ease internal, vertical communication by creating a strong, lateral communication structure that includes checks and balances that can enable workers to gain approvals and/or access as needed, without waiting for responses from far-removed colleagues who are higher up the command chain."
