State Farm vs All State vs Nationwide vs Metlife

[maniacagent]

For all of them you are now owned by them....you produce to their specifications......

This thread is ancient and opinions of SF in 2009 to now have vastly changed..state farm is just another sink hole agency track...they throw everything and everyone against the wall and see what sticks

I have a buddy that works for SF and he still does well. He has been there for 7 years though. Im sure he is grandfathered in on the good stuff.

SF at one time was probably the best captive gig going. Candidates fought for the chance to become an SF agent. You almost had to have an inside connection to get hired. Alas! What was!

Im sure by now who ever started this thread got his answer but still would like to put in my two cents..

Nationwide unlike the other carriers you are an independent contractor. With the others you are strictly captive. Yes you do have to sell NW products first but anything they can not or will not write you can broker out. I believe the other captive companies make this a lot more difficult for you.

So what are you, the new associate out trying to drum up members for the class?

Well from all the facts that I know, I would choose State Farm.

As we speak, there is a lawsuit being filed against SF by TICA agents who started scratch and went broke. Buyer beware if you open from scratch or "new market".

my opinion is state farm is the best, i have worked for allstate and state farm on the financial services side. state farm is mutual company and has higher volume, allstate agents are very unhappy right now as to the changes that are going on.
