Pros

The experience is good. Many of the practices Allstate has in place are very mature. It's a good place to go if you are young, and want to get experience as a project manager.

Cons

Where do i start...I think at some point in the 70's,80's, and 90's people could build careers at Allstate, but not anymore. In today's environment, prepare yourself for low morale, below average pay, frequent layoffs, and out of touch leaders. The "good hands" are nothing more than a PR myth. The real hands, those of upper management, are more like reaper. Other than someone who really needs a job or is fresh out of school, I would not recommend working at Allstate. They entice you with dreams of pensions, but at the 2.5 year mark, prepare to get laid off - you will never hit the year three mark required to secure that benefit, and if you do reach that milestone, consider yourself lucky.

Work from home There are some school programs paid at 100%

Cons

- I haven't been micromanage this bad since working in a call center!!! - the tools you use to do your job feels like micromanagement. Its very slow moving as well. Every thing takes so long to load while you're trying to speed through your work. - you will receive an email about every single little thing you did wrong - you will not receive praise for anything - you will need to protect yourself by maintaining documentation of what was asked of you, because it will be later explained that it doesn't matter what was said, you should have researched it yourself (even when you're brand new). - when they are wronf about a reprimand they just gave you, don't expect a reply or an apology - they will make sudden changes that severely impacts your job at a moments notice and wonder why you are behind - I was advised a manageable workload is 20-30 claims. My whole team had 90+ claims. - The turn over rate is exceptionally high. Over the course of a year I started 7 people quit within. 3 additional people were fired. - you're going to beg for help and they aren't going to help you, and they are going to tell you that YOU are the problem. - currently, all the hires are being shielded from the hot mess. They are trying to change things by pushing all the people who suffered through the mess they created to put a positive spin on the job and I guess preserve moral. - the job itself wouldnt be difficult (because the work is relatively easy), but its VERY disorganized. You will feel like you work in a call center, but this time, you have to return voicemails, emails and text messages. - 2nd worse job experience in my entire life - AND THE PAY IS BELOW INDUSTTY STANDARDS!!! There are no bonuses.
