Pros

Stable company, the job will give you good sales experience. Allstate generally has competitive products. Good place to get your life license if you are only doing property and casualty insurance. The public seems to know that Allstate is a good brand. It is second only to State Farm in nationwide production of property and casualty products. 2nd oldest insurance company in the US, which is a good selling point.

Cons

Being a producer at an Allstate agency for 3 different agencies within a year and 8 months, I can say that your experience at the job solely depends on the agent you work for. The agency owner is the King! (or Queen if its a woman) The agency owner calls the shots. He can give you a raise in a minute if he wants to. He can change your commission structure if he wants to. He can give you expensive online leads if he wants to, or he can give you terrible call sheets to repeatedly call, and then get mad if you can't make any sales from it. This much power the agency owner has bothered me a great deal. Also, there is no room for advancement unless you want to start your own agency, which is massive endeavor.

Pros

Schedule is 10 on 4 off which is better than most carriers CAT pay (commission) is just fair and not difficult to acquire so you can rely on it consistently. Very helpful and patient work environment.

Cons

Can be a lot of work just have to make sure to stay on top of it so it doesn’t build up I would say the hours can range from 6-12 a day

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."
