Pros

-For the most part many nice people working within the company. -The agents I've worked with the exception of the new one I'm working with now taught me a lot. -Good entry level position. -PTO is decent if you can use it.

Cons

-stressful work load -Customers no longer matter, how do I look when telling my loyal customer that due to their good credit and safe driving record your policy renewal increased 92% oh and it's because of the area your live in. -Unrealistic goals. -Working with my 4th Allstate independent agent after the previous three where forced out or forced to retire for various reasons. -Over worked 10 to 12 hour days are the norm for me. Leave on time and become the black sheep. -Unpaid morning meetings -Terrible benefits package. -Actually using said PTO is a task in itself. It took me 7 months to finally take a my weeks vacation as there was always something within the office preventing me from taking it. -Profits over employees and customer loyalty

Pros

Remote Good management Flexible schedule PTO

Cons

Sales fluctuate month to month dramatically and lacks predictability (I've been in other sales industries where sales fluctuate, but are far more predictable and stable). It's truly all over the place, which makes financial budgeting impossible. Calling leads who are broke and can't afford quality coverage. Periods where it is completely dead- you can't get a person to answer the phone, regardless of making 200+ calls in a day.
