Pros

Weekends off for the most part. Unless the owner of the agency wants to go to an event to get leads. Holidays off, No pay at this agency. Easy job for the most part its a desk job where sometimes you go out and talk to people and try to get their personal information to quote them.

Cons

No pay for Hollidays at my agency. You don't really work for Allstate you work for the agency owner. Each agency owner can set its own rules for how benefits are. Like if they pay holidays, how PTO works and generated, how commissions works; how much they pay for your total amount of premiums sold, don't log hours you worked correctly and don't have someone to talk to past the agency owner who of course doesn't want to pay you correctly since its coming out his pocket. Also Allstate is expensive for most customer other companies are cheaper so it's hard to sell. No very great training you have to learn a lot yourself. System have issues pretty often where you can't do your job. If you work for a great owner who cares and plays right, might be better.

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 On top of all that, the technology is laughably outdated, with monitors that feature known defects and an "in-house approach" to all of their software that doesn't even feature a modern CRM.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."
