Pros

Good opportunities as entry level into various areas. Allstate allows employees to learn different aspects of the business, with opportunities building on prior experience. Flexible with time, decent benefits.

Cons

Over the last few years, a lot of decisions have been made by senior management, with all intermediate levels of management basically doing what they are told, and not speaking up for what is in the company's best interests. Focus is on payout of profits to shareholders. Average merit increase of employees at 1.8%. Managers get changed around about every 12-18 months, and they typically don't have any experience/knowledge of the areas they now manage. Recently, management has made significant changes to a number of employees' careers, exercising "Employment at Will laws, and basically TELLING the employee to change to a different job position, rather than ASKING them to.

Pros

Good first job for a recent college grad, good job for building experience and boosting baseline earning potential. There's great opportunities for paid time off, which you receive up front, and in general management is very understanding about PTO requests. Great perks, like discounts on iPhone bills.

Cons

Almost always very demanding and stressful, along with repetitive and mind-numbing. As long as you know your limits and don't let yourself get burnt out - because you will catch up to all the work you have to do - you'll do great.
