Used to be a good place, but focus on profit payout to shareholders is driving everything downhill. - Anonymous employee Allstate Employee Review

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

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 On top of all that, the technology is laughably outdated, with monitors that feature known defects and an "in-house approach" to all of their software that doesn't even feature a modern CRM.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."
