      No one at the Wheel

      Pros

      Due to Allstate's size there are many opportunities for you to advance your career or move to a new position for a change of pace with out having to start over with a new company.

      Cons

      Senior Management has no focus or direction. Every year one or two new initiatives that get pushed down that are a lot of fluff and no substance. There is a big push when it is first launched and then it just fades away because it is not leading us anywhere but in circles. Allstate is also has the mentality of you should be thankful we give you a place to work. Year after year they let very talented people walk out the door because they are not willing to pay them what the marketplace says they should be paid. The feeling is that Allstate will always be able to find someone to take their place. This tends to lead to knowledge loss and many mistakes repeating them selves. There will be a project to recreate the wheel at least once a year because they do not learn from their mistakes.

      You're in great hands with Allstate

      Pros

      Allstate is a great place to grow professionally and the corporate structure is such that everyone supports one another. It's not uncommon to see people that have been with the company for 20, 30, even 40+ years. You can easily create a whole career path within the company and have it involve some completely different jobs, because the company is so big. For example, I have a co-worker who started as a financial analyst and went to HR, then to IT, and is now in marketing. Management also thinks it very important to keep their good employees around, so they like to keep them satisfied and happy. And if you work hard, a promotion is undoubtedly around the corner; it will not go unnoticed. Also, Allstate makes a commitment to the community, and you can really see how much Allstaters really care about each other and about other people. They donate books, clothes, money, etc. as well as volunteer their time to better the world one step at a time. Just knowing that the Allstate Helping Hands committees are there gives you a warm fuzzy about working at Allstate. It is definitely a solid company with a good practices and a great reputation.

      Cons

      The downsides of working at Allstate are probably similar to the downsides of working anywhere else. There are the long hours (depending on which department you work), there is the seemingly unnecessary red tape, there is the occasional incompetent leader, etc. Nothing really sticks out in my mind as being a major downside of working at Allstate. Except maybe that if you tell people you work at Allstate, they will ask you for advice about their insurance/claim, no matter what your actual position is.
