Pros

You learn a lot, learn to handle stress, learn to handle any possible situation whatsoever. Once you have worked in this environment, you can probably handle just about anything.

Cons

Too many rate increases, 5 Auto & 3 property, in the last 5 years. Hard to keep clients on books due to this and the down economy. Too many emails from the company to handle.( i.e. Marketing, Claims, Management, Underwriting, trainers, etc.) Takes most of all your weekend just to catch up on those. Not including regular customer service from clients. Too many meetings. Agents are constantly hounded to sell more, but spend too much time on other non-selling Allstate stuff. New contract is less lucrative than prior agents contract.

Pros

Allstate is an old company with a long history in the personal lines property and casualty insurance business. There are many opportunities to do different things at Allstate. The work is never boring.

Cons

Senior Management appears confused about its goals and its plans of actions. A program is started and dropped quickly with little evidence of planning ahead. Opportunities for advancement or promotion are possible, but the criteria for either is often unclear and extremely discretionary.

Pros

A long career with varied assignments which led to personal growth. Very flexible with family life balance issues.

Cons

Very political in making promotional decisions. Company has lost its way under Tom Wilson as reflected in market share and profitability declines. Define push to replace older workers with younger less expensive employees. Salary to low for experience and value added. Obtained 27 per cent increase from new employer after my RIF.
