Pros

Loved sharing information and getting the staff ready to help Allstate customers.

Cons

Pay raises are a joke. The give you a review in Jan and if you are lucky you get a 3% raise so that you can now pay for the increase cost of your medical insurance. Crappy Medical Ins for employees in cost a fortune and has a 6000 ded. For a family 350 every two weeks. Management sucked!!! I had one manager that didn’t care for me and would go behind my back and tell his manager I was the reason New Hires were not successful. Truth was they would hire unqualified people because they had no choice because any one decent could make better money somewhere else. I had several new hires that didn’t even know how to work a basic computer they couldn’t even sign on without assistants or work in outlook. How can I be held responsible for the person not succeeding when they should have never been hired for a position they were not qualified for? Management would interview and make offers and hope they would at least pass the background check/ drug screen. We would have new hires not even show up the first day. So a class of 20 would end up being a class of 12. If they did show up it was just a way to get into the door at Allstate with a hope of advancing and making more money later. Which was a joke on them because any raises received our medical insurance would take it as a increase and advancement only was successful if you kiss butt to get it. Turn Over was crazy you would have a training class complete training only to leave the Dept or quit within 6 months.

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."
