Pros

- young, energetic corporate culture - flexible schedules and a lot of paid time off - individual accountability but people stay team-minded and help each other out. - although I think the front line managers should be more competent, they genuinely care about work-life balance. - great place to get your foot in the door and learn about the insurance industry.

Cons

- reward length of employment more than talent or skill in terms of pay. - entry level employees aren't retained because they seek a large pay increase at other insurance companies - Corporate training for positions (liability / casualty) is a week of conference call and phone-play, pretty ineffective at teaching practical state-based handling guidelines and compliance issues. - Senior Management missed the boat on reaching self-writing customers with the internet sales, instead of taking responsibility, they make excuses. - depending on the week, there will be a different thing that your performance will be evaluated upon. There are seriously 20 different factors that determine our performance rating and any one of them could make or brake your annual performance evaluations (which determines your pay increase) - they do not have mid-cycle raises (or if they do, I have never seen one). - all promotions are pretty much lateral: handling more complex claims does not equate to a pay increase.

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."
