Pros

Lots of opportunity to learn on the job. Accessibility to further your career in different areas if you want.

Cons

Management cared about work product, maybe not so much about employees as individuals.

Pros

The more tenured employees and managers truly seem to enjoy what they do. There is a big emphasis on professional development, philanthropy, and transparency. Since most people commute, working hours are somewhat flexible and working from home is allowed depending on which team you join. Some (not all) teams do not require business casual attire during a typical workweek.

Cons

1) Compensation/Benefits - Pay for junior employees/managers is well below competitors in the area and there is a noticeable issue with employee retention. Also, in 2017 the healthcare plan moved from decent premiums to a high-deductible ($2000 for individuals; $4000 for families) while pay remains flat. 2) Location, location, location - Unless you're an officer, you probably can't afford to live near HQ, meaning you'll be in the car 2+ hours a day commuting from the city/west suburbs.

Pros

Training - One of the best in the industry. A good place to start. Just don't stay.

Cons

You cannot count on receiving the retirement benefits promised when you started your career at Allstate when you retire. Just Google "Employee class action lawsuits against Allstate Insurance Company" After 35 years I retired and Allstate took my life insurance and now they have taken my away my Allstate Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA).
