Pros

Allstate has a lot to offer: great pay, excellent benefits package, generous paid vacation, extremely flexible schedules and ability to change your schedule to maintain work/life balance as necessary.

Cons

Allstate is not the most receptive company in terms of considering employee suggestions for any type of improvement. They are a good old boys company and they do things the way they do things without regard to how antiquated their processes may be. You will hear "that's just the way we do things here." Finally, the managers there seem to be trained to identify those with the strongest work ethic and inundate them with work. They are not at all receptive to hearing that you have too much on your plate, that you need help, that you need training, or that you think the workload balancing in your unit, team, department could possibly be changed for greater efficiency.

Pros

Great base pay, benefits, 401K match, and standard corporate perks. Plenty of networking opportunities all across the country, the ability to support local communities, and a commission structure with good intentions and potential

Cons

As a company, Allstate lacks awareness of their role within the industry and within the country, fully acknowledging that their rates are NEVER the best (not sometimes, NEVER). At a time when everyone is conscious of their spending, selling a more expensive (and oftentimes identical) product not only feels wrong - it's unsustainable. There is a severe lack of program direction, poor understanding of the different states' geography and demographics, and complete void of accountability or clarity. An entire product launch was delayed by a month on the day it was supposed to launch, with an explanation never fully arriving and acknowledgment finally trickling down several days later. Of course, this leads to an overuse of corporate speak excuses in an endless cycle of "circle backs" because nobody ever knows what is actually happening or WHY. On top of all that, the technology is laughably outdated, with monitors that feature known defects and an "in-house approach" to all of their software that doesn't even feature a modern CRM. Like the hardware, known system-wide bugs were rampant within these Allstate branded systems, leading to embarrassing conversations with prospects and partners. MS Teams and Outlook will go off late into the night, well beyond normal business hours, all under the excuse of differing time zones and "sharing successes."
