Customer Service Careers
Our team is here for you
We answer calls and work behind the scenes with customers, other departments, and agents to get the job done right. Customer Service employees are the voice of State Farm® – upholding a tradition and culture of helping others.
Work environment
Customer Service teams are structured and designed for high-volume workloads. Employees’ performances are closely monitored to ensure customers are well taken care of. Typically, work spaces are shared to manage rotations. In these environments, people work a variety of schedules including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and some holidays.
Traits for success
Team members who experience the most success in customer service roles have strong relationship-building, empathetic listening, and communication skills. They’re able to handle different tasks in a short time while on the phone or computer. Some positions require licensing. Others require bilingual (Spanish) fluency.
Different locations
We’re looking to fill customer service job openings in Atlanta, Bloomington, Dallas, and Phoenix. Each location offers unique conveniences to help employees balance their commute times, shopping, and entertainment with their work schedules. Once in the office, our work spaces are open, modern, and collaborative.

Scenes around the exterior of the State Farm Life Response Center are seen, and then we see the entrance. Next, we see Paul working in his cubicle, and then we see others working at other cubicles.

What It’s Like: Life Response Center Paul Representative Life Response Center
(Speaker: Paul)
Thank you for calling the Life Response Center. This is Paul. How may I assist? Good morning, Jesse. And how are you? I've been with State Farm almost three years. And before I came to State Farm, I worked as an auditor for a title company.
(IMAGE)
We see Christie speaking to the camera.
(Text on screen)
Christie Representative Life Response Center
(Speaker: Christie)
So when I first was exposed to State Farm, I worked for an agent's office. And working for a contractor is a lot different than my role now, which is working for the company as an employee. So the people who call me are the ones that I used to do their job.
(IMAGE)
We see Joe, alternately working at his cubicle and speaking outside his cubicle.
(Text on screen)
Jose Representative Life Response Center
(Speaker: Jose)
I waited tables for about three years before I got here. Yeah. I had never worked at a call center before. So yeah, it was a dramatic change. But the training helped out a lot. We take inbound phone calls from agents, and we assist them with anything that has to do with a life policy.
(IMAGE)
Christie is seen speaking near her cubicle.
(Speaker: Christie)
I handle financials calls, whether it's a tax-qualified annuity plan or a non-tax qualified. I get to assist with existing policies and new applications for any of those types of areas.
(IMAGE)
We see Paul working at his desk and then speaking outside his cubicle.
(Speaker: Paul)
How's it going today? You can have questions as it relates to, why is my bill showing past due when I've sent in my payment? Or I asked for a policy loan and I still haven't received my check. Every tier worked here at the Life Response Center requires that we have a certain amount of time dedicated towards training.

(Speaker: Christie)
We go through basically six weeks of training, which includes on-boarding learning about company policies. They wanted to make sure that we were very confident in knowing everything that we were seeing in the policy.
(Image)
Paul speaking outside a cubicle.
(Speaker: Paul)
Well, fortunately, throughout the calls, you have links on our computers to ensure that we're giving the appropriate response.

(Speaker: Christie)
Sometimes they're not going to be happy with your answer. Sometimes just letting them vent. So do I sit in the back of my mind and think about my call being recorded? No, I really don't.
(Speaker: Paul)
It's just an opportunity to make sure that we are providing the consistent and accurate information that we are tasked to do.
(IMAGE)
We see workers having a meeting in a casual classroom, and then we see Jose speaking.
(Speaker: Jose)

(Speaker: Paul)
I sense the support in my one on one when I'm speaking to my supervisor. We're talking about development.
(Speaker: Jose)
It's amazing how many opportunities that there are.
(Speaker: Christie)
If we see something that we think needs changed, we can submit to see if we can incorporate it, and it only makes our operation better. And in the long run it helps the policyholder. And that's really what we're here to do is solidify those relationships with our policyholders and to make sure that they're well taken care of. So I'm very blessed and fortunate to be able to be here.

Wider shot of Teresa’s cube and her on the phone
Teresa: (39064) 13:04:11 A lot of call centers people think that you’re making outbound calls and getting hung up on. This is completely different to where they’re calling us with what they need and we’re just trying to give them the best service as possible.
Teresa on cam

Mishal: (39065) 16:46:19 We sit down at the beginning of our shift. We check our emails and do any other thing we need to do. And then we’ll get on the phone basically. Mishal State Farm Customer Care Associate
Natural sound from Mishal on a call

Giovanna: (39065) 10:11:03 It’s purely inbound. And we get calls spanning from adding vehicles, claims, billing questions, everything under the roof basically.

Mishal: (39065) 16:50:36 I have learned so much. But it’s because of the training, it’s because of the nesting. Nesting is basically what you transition to once you’re done with official training.
Training b-roll
Teresa: (39064) 13:06:13 There is a little bit of a nesting type period to where you’re around other people who have done the job and you can raise your hand and ask questions.

Giovanna: (39065) 10:15:55 we get graded calls each month. Basically it allows us to know in those specific calls what is it that we can work on and what are we doing well to continue doing.

What It’s like?
• fast-paced
• customer-focused
• structured yet flexible
• making a difference
• taking ownership of the call
• work environment is 24-hour day, 7-day week
Mishal: (39065) 17:06:10 State Farm definitely does invest in your development. I’m able to shadow other people in other departments to see what their job is like to see if I’m interested in eventually transferring over to different position. So this is not just like a solo job where just working on your own and you don’t get to interact with other people.
Mishal speaking on camera, working at her desk talking with her supervisor
Peter: (39064) 09:05:05 To stay fresh and stay upbeat and make sure you treat the first customer as good as the last customer, we always have a break time every about three hours, and also between calls we have wrap-up time.
We hear and see Peter on a call, being upbeat and friendly with a customer
We see Peter working at his computer or decompressing at his desk
Mishal: (39065) 16:59:15 And we have to take accountability. We have to own the call, but we also have to make sure that we’re leading the call in the correct direction.

Mishal: (39065) 17:10:01 I would say at the end of the day sometimes I am exhausted. But there will be like one or two calls that will just kind of pop up in my mind like I really did a good job on that call or I’m so glad I was able to help somebody.
Mishal working, talking on the phone (we faintly hear that).

(Speaker: Kristen)
Thank you for calling State Farm Health, this is Kristen, how can I help you? I work in the Health Response Center. I'm tier 2 trained. Mostly we take incoming phone calls from agents or agent staff who call to get a better understanding of a policy and how it works, what the eligibility is, underwriting requirements.
(IMAGE)
We see Desiree working at her desk.
(Text on screen)
Desiree Tier 1 Representative Health Response Center

They don't just throw you out into the ocean, sink or swim. They'll give you all the tools that you're going to need for the job.

(Speaker: Kristen)
One of the challenges that we face is that there is a lot of change in the insurance industry in general.
(Speaker: Desiree)
In the beginning of the week is a little bit more hectic. Towards the end of the week, you have time to go recuperate from that last call and get ready for the next one.
(Speaker: Kristen)
So we have our huddle meetings where we can come together, discuss any changes to our resources, anything that could possibly be coming up that agents are going to be calling in about.
