Pros

I don't know of any pros working with Allstate

Cons

They will not allow you to run your own business. Allstate will act as if you are an employee, but force you to follow all of their rules. Allstate has continued to lower commissions and pay just about every year, so they could make more profit and squeeze their agency force to leave loosing all investment they made

Pros

Potential for good commissions if you can overcome the drastic rate increases and get on the agents "good" list - if you work for a smaller private agent its possible to have a good experience - Possible to work remotely at times.

Cons

- extreme increase in rates for customers make it impossible to make the product/service worth selling unless they just havent looked anywhere else ever. - I had a great experience working with a smaller agent we merged sales and services so we were close with our customers and built a rapport and got more policies that way. Was lower overhead for the agent and I was 1 of 2 producers employed with him. Except in recent years All-State has completely wrecked their operation they require a 50% up front premium payment. They are trying the eliminate most of thier private agents, they arent even sending out monthly bills anymore.. just one "payment schedulea" goes out at renewal in order to "save money on unnecessary money on postage - youre kidding. So, my agent sold and I was passed on also - the lead system is completely antiquated, even warm leads lead to nothing because the premiums are horrendous. Goals are unattainable. No guidence or HR / Tech support suckes and so does the entire system. I could go on but I wont.

Pros

Decent pay, great paid time off package, will allow remote work.

Cons

High stress job, they except more work with less people. Workload is too heavy. Management will just tell you to leave if you don't like it. No raises once you get anywhere near the top of the pay scale. They cap you before then. This used to be a great place to work, but now everyone is just a number. They no longer care.
