Pros

Allstate's LDP program does a really great job on networking you with leaders all over the company. Your final interview will be with a senior leader which gives you access to advice from some of the best at Allstate. For the most part, every leader and employee that I have encountered here at Allstate has been very friendly and willing to help LDPs learn and grown in the company and individual roles. As an LDP, you will get special opportunities that regular employees don't get which includes special access to certain leaders. For individuals that want to branch outside of their college majors, the LDP program is a great way to do that as it allows you to work in three different areas of responsibility over the course of three years and work experience is not required to work in different departments. In fact, they encourage you to work in departments that you don't have experience with in order to help you grow. I highly recommend this programs. It will definitely open up doors for me after the program.

Cons

The LDP program is three years long and requires you to be at home office in Northbrook, IL for your first and third year. The second year you may choose to go to a field office. You also must rotate every year so even though you might like your current rotation and want to stay, you have to rotate to a new rotation.

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 On top of all that, the technology is laughably outdated, with monitors that feature known defects and an "in-house approach" to all of their software that doesn't even feature a modern CRM.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