Team member careers are positions with a State Farm independent contractor agent, not with State Farm Insurance Companies. Qualifications to be employees of a State Farm agent are established by each independent contractor agent. By applying/accepting a position with an independent contractor agent, you are not promised, guaranteed, or given a special preference in the selection process to become an independent contractor agent for the State Farm Insurance Companies. State Farm agents are independent contractors who hire their own employees. State Farm agents’ employees are not employees of State Farm. Agents are responsible for and make all employment decisions regarding their employees.
